According to the Daily Mail site the pilot stopped it 100yds after the threshold. Some good piloting, then.

It was a c#ck-up! Good that no one was hurt.
Always remember that NO-ONE will notice your risk taking, no-margin flying. It looks just as good with a nice safety margin!

Not very good at Spot landing. The official landing was in the dirt. Be picking dirt-clods out of the wheel wells for sure
