Initially I was thinking MSNs 197 and 219 for Qatar and Emirates, but I think that 197 will come in the new year, so I am going with 219 and 220 for Emirates. That brings up the question of how do we vote on Convoy 28, because that will most likely carry parts of 219 and 220? Don't forget these two rear fuselages parts could just be old parts being moved to free up space where they are made, more space at TLS next year with lower production numbers, maybe there's a free station to store all the spare parts in  Good point, strenghen by the fact that CV27 is some kind of an extra-convoy, it was just added recently..... This didn't happen for a while If by that you mean a partial convoy, I agree.... If by that you mean only 2 RearFuselage parts convoyed, I disagree = has never happened  |

Should we really bet/guess on two rear fuselages? If yes, my vote is the next two Emirates. But I would prefer to bet on the next "real" convoy.

grisu17 may well know something, but these A380s are no small items. Toulouse already has three frames in storage with two white tails MSN 162 and 167, plus Qatar MSN 193, although storage is probably outdoors. But would they do the same with multiple sections of aircraft. However, having all these completed frames and sections would allow Toulouse to relativley quickly ramp up production if there becomes a need to. Another point is that with a slow down in production, this would allow some of the assembly hangers to be used for storage. I would imagine that each assembly hanger could probably hold up to three frames when in sections. Would be interested to know what thoughts some others may have and especially if anyone has any insight as to what Airbus has in mind.
