I guess he's looking for MRTT numbers which are something like test registrations for Airbus tanker aircraft.

Maybe this helps

http://www.airlinerlist.com/

Search for the Excel sheet A300/A310 and search in the document on MRTT.

Good luck.

Sorry for any confusion.

STILL TRYING to find out which (individual) A-310 airframes carried (or were allocated) "MRTT" numbers. i.e.

MRTT006
MRTT007
MRTT008
MRTT009

Know which ones allocated for the A-330's,

but MRTT006 to MRTT009, appear not to have been allocated to A-330. It has been suggested these were allocated to military Airbus A-310's!!!!!!!

Hence my confusing question.....

Hi Robin,

I think you partly answered your own question, if you look on the production list of the A310 you find 4 A310-304MRTT with the German Air Force and two CC-150 MRTT with the Canadian Air Force. Combining 4+2 = 6 official MRTT's however the designation MRTTxxx was introduced with the A330. Furthermore, French and Spain A310's are cargo/transport only.

Personally I think your numbers are located for unknown A330 instead of A310 (another item is the fact that the A310 was converted to MRTT, not like current A330's that are being build as MRTT).

Hope this helps you.
Groeten,
Ron

Hi Hurricane

Thanks for your input, which is useful in some ways.

I had thought that MRTT006 to MRTT009 (four aircraft), were aircraft allocated to the ill-fated KC-45A programme.

I know that MRTT002 (c/n 925 ex F-WWKB A-330-202) was allocated as the first KC-45A, and therefore had assumed that MRTT006 to MRTT009 (were also allocated to the KC-45A programme). This airframe (c/n 925) since switch back to civil use with KLM. However have found no evidence to support this theory, that MRTT006 to MRTT009 were allocated to KC-45 programme.

It has been suggest by someone else, that MRTT006 to MRTT009, were allocated to Airbus A-310 for military use. Just trying to see if there is any evidence to support theory (and which ones were allocated to which numbers). I do take note that on some of the Airbus A-310 production list some are listed as MRTT without any numbers!!!

Your comments are most welcome

I don't think it would make sense if numbers 6 to 9 were allocated to the A310, because the A310s were converted way before the A330MRTT/KC-45 programmes started.

Hi Gietje

I always thought that MRTT006 to MRTT009, were allocated to KC-45A programme, however I have not been able to find any allocations, so in that case, these (MRTT006 to 009), must have been reserved slots, but not actually allocated any airframe (c/n) numbers??????

Currently looking for any allocations for MRTT019 and above.
