Virgin Flight Occurrence LHR to DXB 4th Jan 2013

I am hoping someone can give me an idea of what happened on a flight from LHR to DXB on the 4th Jan 2013. Virgin A340 flight (G-VYOU).
The aircraft powered up and entered a fairly steep sudden climb and then appeared to be dragged back down again by the crew. I seemed like a TCAS manoeuvre, finger trouble or something.
The cabin crew said that it was an atmospheric anomaly, which don't buy.
If someone can give me the real reason I am far too curious I am afraid to leave it alone.
I am sure that it must have been a level bust if it was not commanded?

Thanks in advance!!!
