Let's try to get back to the point.

The matter for discussion is that a CX 747-400 LHR/HKG carried out a windshear Go Around from the approach into HKG.

Somehow, during the G/A, the autpilot disconnected AND nobody noticed. Some of the divergences from the planned profile were noticed but it took a long time for the penny to drop with the 4 man crew that the A/P had disengaged.

The aircraft recovered by pushing over, bunting, shoving the control column forward, whatever [not the point] at more than 6000 feet and about 118kts [the point]
