British 747 looses all engines

In 1988 I believe that a British Airways 747, was overflying Indonesa, when they flew through what their radar said was cloud, but in actual fact was vulcano dust.

All engines stopped, and I believe that after loosing 20,000 ft, they were able to get restarts.

Aircraft upon arrival at Perth, required all four engines to be changed.

Does anyone have a copy of the CVR of this incident.

Thanks and regards

Col Tigwell
