It's not the bank that concerns me so much, but rather the very high nose attitude. There may be reasons for the bank, e.g. wake as has been mentioned. But why the high nose? Was the reason for the large bank also causing some sink and thus a heavy handed pull back?
What experience did the captain have and were they 'covering the controls'? Mind you, this close to the ground it can be difficult to intervene.
