Standard UK mil training.
Trading speed off for height, but of course you have to be the fast side of 100+ kts to make it worth while.
I recall training studes to fly at 50/100' and about 100-120kts, chop the throttle, dump the lever and flare, flare, flare
The aim was to try to make a slot on the touchdown zone.

Fantastic feedback, probably the instructors dream sortie.

Mind you Gazelle's were very accomodating, wouldn't want to try it in a teetering head!
