I not sure I would have resisted but I'm also not convinced that the footage is not a montage.
Consensus of opinion that I've seen, and first hand conversation with one of the ground crew for 558 at Doncaster suggests just that James; the g meters and fatigue meters would show it straight away if it had happened.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Not sure either, if the video wasn't so disjointed as far as looking like a collection of frames with some missing it might prove it.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:
