It is called a 'go around' for a very apt reason, that it involves going around, normally maintaining runway heading before a circuit to land, so the fact that the crew continued in the direction of the landing runway would be normal procedure, they can hardly break off the approach and do a 180 when it is likely that other aircraft are on the approach also.
Interesting.
The previous poster is suggesting that the aircraft continued the approach well after the point where the gear would typically be lowered (but wasn't), and then a GA was initiated just short of the threshold.
In other words, having omitted to drop the wheels the crew subsequently decided (or were instructed) not to land in the absence of 3 greens.
Or maybe it was just a coincidence ?
