My mistake...

Yes - my mistake or a browser problem - wouldn't let me do it all. But it does now, hence I've deleted the post.

I know this is an Airbus, but on a Boeing for a windshear go-around you do not change the configuration of the aircraft until clear of the windshear. I would be surprised if Airbus was any different.
