St Elmos fire

There are quite a few that are quick to discredit the possibility of Ash damage to the engine. from a Mountain that is quite close to the SIN-SYD flightpath (think about the previous sectors flown by the aircraft and damage to engines are cumulative if not remedied)
my mind still comes back the the JQ A330 that was operating north of SIN last Friday which encountered St Elmos fire and managed to lose the function of their TAT due to outside influence (agent not specified IIRC).
I think the general situation in the area in regards to Ash should be seriously considered by the investigators.
just my $0.02 worth.

Does anyone know when this Aircraft was handed back to QF from LH Teknik? how many LHR-SYD rotations has it done since the C-Check?
