You are quite correct in most of what you say.
However:

The Commander, who was the handling pilot at the time, shortly after takeoff inadvertantly allowed the airspeed and then the height to decrease whilst turning away from a strong gusting wind

When the handling pilot
allowed the airspeed and then the height to decrease whilst turning away from a strong gusting wind it means
he did not increase the power to a sufficient level.
And this is the crux of the matter gusts or not, they did not have (use) the energy they needed to keep flying.
