Apart from the suspiciously similar EPR of the two engines (1.02 and 1.03) there is an interesting line in the report :-

"....... The evidence to date indicates that both engines had low fuel pressure at the inlet to the HP pump. Restrictions in the fuel system between the aircraft fuel tanks and each of the engine HP pumps, resulting in reduced fuel flows is suspected. ....."

I find it almost incredible that two different systems could suffer almost exactly the same restrictions HAVING INITIALLY RESPONDED, but I await the reasons with great interest.
