Back in the '90's I was lucky enough to see the late Bob Hoover doing his 'energy management' display in a Rockwell Commander, with both props feathered.
Absolutely amazing!

Couple of chaps told me they used to do single engine circuits in the C-130 (empty, other three set at zero TQ). Likely??

Presumably "narrowly missing" or "nearly hitting" perhaps?
The main author of the ASN entry is a prodigious adder of historical UK mishaps to the site and his narrative is sometimes slightly wayward!
