If you left the area a few minutes earlier and were heavy enough to need 95% tq and were planning to return with a right crosswind and a downwind termination than you were probably lucky that a 90 degree turn to the right was the only problem you experienced. Did you get a look at the tq guage during the excitement ??
If there were trees in the area you may have been shielded by them during the later stages of the approach. Always has the potential to be bad if you are heavy or a bit slow to react.
The gust that was reported may have been a willy willy. Don't know if you get them in the UK. But they can be a big problem here late in an approach.
