I did here.

No effort at all on the sidestick to hold in the stall ... the almost full NU trim was taking care of it.
Apparently, same thing happened for AF447, THS was already at 13 degrees up when full back stick was maintained.
That undesirable auto trim operation has played a crucial role in the outcome of AF447.
