I got confirmation from the Qld seller that he had a fungal disease some years back and these marks were the left over results. Also that Phyllosticta typically does not kill a plant, but may weaken it and that I may have left the Vanda too wet in cool temps without air circulation - quite possible.
I will look to remove it from the vase and put it outside, unfortunately Winter came back with 12c/6c yesterday and the next few days, I just took those pics at that location, the plant usually sits in the sunroom until it warms up, which the other Vanda's are doing ok in.
Incidentally the Vanda's that are flowering for me are the ones in bark, so I'm wondering if that may be a better medium for my dry climate than growing bare root in a vase.
