Details of the first VS A330 can be found here
http://digitalairliners.com/toulouse/20 ... 000-2255l/Scroll down to the A330/A340 family section to find the current state of msn1195. This aircraft is due to arrive in the fleet as G-VSXY in a few months time. y)
I have also found this photo of the aircraft. It can be seen lurking in the background.

That's funny - it looks like it's been assembled by spare parts lying around the factory - or a cut and shut job!

Good one

I have always felt the engines on the A340-300's look tiny for the distances...
