757 Gti
Same thing happened more than a year ago in Bilbao, with an A320 from Iberia. Hard windshear, go around decision, full aft sidestick from both pilots, and the TRIM automatically noses down to avoid a computed potential stall condition (alpha floor protection). Result: the aircraft impacts the runway at a high vertical speed, nobody resulted seriously hurt but relevant structural damages in the plane.
Airbus recognized the problem of the software and has implemented the change of the ELAC computers. Maybe the Virgin aircraft you mention had not made the neccessary improvements ...
