"Recovery at that low altitude is generally successful providing autopilot and autothrottle are disengaged and full thrust applied. Apply immediate forward stabiliser trim and elevator while selecting between five and seven body angle up to counteract the strong pitch up that occurs at go-around thrust."

This is too similar to what was written originally in the FCTM. No feather in my arse, but when teaching TQ I always emphasised that a stall was an aerodynamic issue and had to be solved aerodynamically. Thus, first reduce AoA and then accelerate and avoid pitching up into a 2nd stall. FCTM has since been re-written to reflect this correct technique. It may only be a split second of a twinkling of an eye, but AoA first, then N1% umph and hang on.
