With respect, a slight disagreement.
I did note that the minimum speed mentioned matches the ADS-B data so if I look at the ADS-B trace and consider "landing speed" as quoted in the report to mean Vref then they were at Vref at about 900ft and 2.5D.
My trace at 2.5D shows 800 ft and 130 kts GS, or ~145 kts IAS assuming a surface wind of 10 kts. Perhaps hair splitting, but might have significance.

...

..and perhaps as they broke cloud, and pitch up was already underway, all 3 were squinting in the wrong place on the windscreen.....
The thought crossed my mind too
