We used to have a recommendation to not remove drift prior to touchdown on wet runways
This was to avoid undesirable downwind
travel after landing and of course there was less stress on the gear than on a dry runway
Anyone else seen this technique?

On many aircraft - including the 747 - you can readily land in a crab, with the velocity vector straight down the runway. You do NOT want to land with any drift across the runway.

Presumably ACMS you're asking easymxp why he thought shovel's post (about the OP's post being "the most embarrassing post ever....) was more embarrassing than the original - as was I. Ya follow? (clue: read again from the top...)

Not remove correction for drift, in other words land in a crab, as I said this was recommended on a wet runway

But thanks to Pugilistic Animus discovered “The Guvnor” - I wasn’t in Pprune at that time - and...... The Guvnor wins as the most embarassing (unbeatable) ever

Little doubt that the A380 was mishandled. I don't think that the big swing in the post TD bounce is gust induced, you can see that the aircraft goes where the pilot rudder inputs take it. Lucky to not be worse result.
