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. http://www.flickr.com/photos/a380spotte ... otostream/

I really must get out more!
:D

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 :P




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