The ASB has been out for a while (25-7-02). ASB 76-65-55 and ASB 76-65-55A are the two to look out for.
8 blades are 'named' in the ASB (which would suggest two aircraft have been hit), and a warning to remove all blades that have had lightning damage either in the air OR on the ground. Log cards had to be checked and if there was any Uncertainty the blade had to be removed.
Apparently another ASB is due out shortly regarding an inspection on blades with the two piece leading edge to check the condition of the tang as mentioned in the AAIB report.
