Remember that 2 flights flew through the same 'storm' and landed safely.
As you are perfectly aware of this, shame on you thermostat, and shame on the BEA, which choose not to display those 2 flights on its trajectory video :

As the crew realized there was a problem with indicated airspeed, they selected, through the AIR DATA selector, another ADR source for the PF airspeed indication.
In the meantime, it is possible the crew realized there was a problem with attitude indication as they selected, through the ATT HDG selector, another IR source for the PF attitude indication.

The ATT HDG switch has been manipulated a second time later on.
BEA has been very quiet on those selections ...

No Oozlum here BOAC, not yet.
