Dozy,
IIRC my " new Britannia Captain" had come to us from flying Caravelles. Perhaps HE needed to be reminded that turbines' reaction to a demand for an increase of power needs some time, " thinking time ?", even if there is a propeller fitted to the front ( He did not stay for long.)
Even as trainees we had been taught to use a powered approach on Oxfords and Ansons, to be ready for a low overshoot.
( Later, at the gliding Centre to the east of Toulouse it was possible to do a low overshoot in a glider - the main strip was along a ridge, so one could turn over the side of the ridge and gained height or landed in a field at the bottom.)
