How he got this down I'll never know

Kind regards

I amazed it didn't break up!!

I am speculating , because I do not know what control system the 154 has, in particular for the rudders , but a conceivable explanation is if there was a yaw damper failure . Tonks will tell us, but IIRC the VC10 can show fairly spectacular Dutch Roll characteristics if the Damper is inoperative

Oh they come down alright...but not always in one piece....

It appears to me that he lost aileron control and was trying to land with rudder/elevator/engines only.

Thats just bonkers. Those old Russian girls are certainly careless.

The young lady doing the narration says that 'the steering broke'
