As the trusty bus from 1066 glided gracefully over the boundary fence the pilot, both hands manfully engaged on the control wheel, would order "Slow Cuts" where upon the paid help in the engine room would respond with "Slow Cut" and things got quieter.
Perhaps, but if said manful pilot called "Cut" instead, things could get anything other than quieter as anything up to 72,000lbs of Hastings fell out of the sky onto hopefully all three points. The resulting crunch could perhaps be justified with the words "Tactical Landing", and anyway if you could walk away from it....
