Yes I read it - On page 11 of Appendix H it is written that "The height loss appeared to be insensitive to whether 1 or 2 notches of flap were selected and to the power setting". Which is why I wrote that I was surprised that there wasn't any benefit. I had assumed that both pulling the throttle back and adding flaps would reduce the altitude lost. I wasn't sure whether extending the speed brake would provide some benefit but that wasn't mentioned or I missed it.
