Years ago I landed in a Malev TU134 on 27L at EGLL. The pilot braked extremely hard shortly after touchdown & we were all tipped forward in our seats. My wife is a nervous flyer so, to put her mind at rest, I suggested that he was demonstrating to a friend & colleague (who I believed to be in the cockpit for the landing) the shortfield landing capability of the a/c. Then, I looked out of the starboard window further down the runway, just before we left it, & saw a DLH A300 still firmly in the middle of the runway (but well ahead of us) after his landing roll. Not one that complied with the stipulations for a "land after" !
