Hot day, thermal, some form of turbulence or spot of windshear perhaps?

Watching a Jodel on approach to 29 at Biggin many years ago with me airband on, it suddenly sank like a stone a few hundred yards from the threshold, big burst of power and the drop was arrested at 100' or so followed by a radio call "think there's a bit of shear on the approach there!"
