Parts from the original Skymark frames? Must have stored them in a shed for a few years 😀

Parts from the original Skymark frames? ANA is supposed to have taken entirely new frames, but we don't know what happened to the parts that must have been produced before the cancellation of the Skymark deal ... I doubt we'll ever have an answer.

Must have stored them in a shed for a few years 😀 Or MSN196 Transaero? Couldn't have been that high MSN. Wings with new production standard came much earlier in the low 100s. QR frames are likely a good marker for approximately when that transition happened.

Airbus is said to even have made some freighter wingset somewhere. Would certainly make for some great VIP STOL-bird with it's better flap system.

Thanks stealthmanbob! I don't think it'll go very far though, understandably inspection is for now limited to the MSNs up to #25... That's in fact all the handwired frames, could that just be a coincidence?.. Of these 'up-to-25', 5 for SIA are now out, we do have left (from the back of my head, let's see if I'm right) MSN11 EK MSN12 SQ MSN13 EK MSN14 15 QF MSN16 17 EK MSN18 was for MH for parts had been used for another aircraft, which one? MSN19 SQ MSN20 EK MSN21 SQ MSN22 QF MSN23 EK MSN24 was for MH I think but not sure if parts had been reused MSN25 EK
...or is it "EASA says the directive would be limited to the 25 oldest wing sets on the A380 fleet" for the existing flying fleet?..... in so that there would be a few to add then, my list here would total only 13 frames (without #18 and #24).
