Yes - it's a heck of a growth. Only what I hear third-hand about this incident. Not directly corroborated, so is it's still rumour until we see the report. Apparently an isolated fungal incident, and therefore rather unexpected, but given the severity of the outcome (total power loss) I'm sure there'll be some additional checks recommended by ATSB for Jet-A1 aircraft in the tropics.
So this enormous growth of mycelium was diagnosed as the problem out on the highway, then ‘dealt with’ on site, thus rendering it safe to kick the tyres and light the fires and take off. And the fuel uplift and usage records never suggested a disparity between actual and indicated.
What’s that technical term? I know: Bollocks!
