Hiya,

Our last visit was april 2006, so lots has changed since that visit.
Biggest change was the new road, going south from the delivery centre. meaning no photos anymore from aircraft inside the delivery centre.

This was also our first visit to the Airbus factory.

NOTE: Info from the book, not checked against published info.

We arrived the 18th, early evening and had a look at the site before going to our hotel:

D-AVZV Air China A321- 3653 del. centre

Hope it makes some cense...

The on-site museum seems to be gone. Both Guppy and HFB where parked elsewhere on the field.

According to our guide, there where five A380's on site, but only the Emirates was seen outside both days.

Msn's 3621, 3626 and 3628 where parked inside the so called 'Toulouse' hangar (no idea what number it has). The Kingfisher was being replaced by the Aeroflot (msn 3627) which arrived early from Toulouse for outfitting.

Thanks to Patrick for the company and to Wolfgang Hintz for giving us some required info.

Bye, Chris.
