In the UK, the SOP is to go max-rpm and full-rich on short final, in

That's SOP in the US, too. I've never heard of what Denny and Newps are
suggesting, but then I don't fly a big-bore, and don't keep up with their
SOPs.


In a piston popper, of any size, the engine responds quickly enough that
full rich/RPM's is more damaging, unless you like lead fouling in your
engine.
