G & T, that's an old wives' tale! It was true that the Trident would go-around from 12R without touching the tarmac, being well into the flare.
P2 was, as it were, determined to go-around. The slightest hesitation on the part of P1 to say "Land" would result in a GA.
Good point from Jhieminga about the airfield, and the queue!
The Trident A/L system was absolutely brilliant. On one memorable day (a double shuttle), it was on-limits at both ends, and we took-off and landed - four sectors - on schedule and with no trouble. We were also one of about two aircraft in the air that day!
Brilliant technology.
