Perhaps some kind of accident? There is also the green area on the fuselage behind the wing. Would it be they are testing a combination of new & old engine for 3rd bearing and combustion chamber as as of now IndiGo is the one suffer the most with those 2 issues? |

Looks like they have done some work on MSN 6946 First Image showed it just stored, but another image from today looks like they started some exterior work on it. based on the registration and location it is the same airplane I would assume, but the colors are different (perhaps one is more edited than the other?) or they are not taken both from today? EDIT: never mind its probably a completely different aircraft...HA!  F-WWDC by cliper31, on Flickr  AIB56XL 24/4/2017 by A380_TLS_A350, on Flickr |

Also, the WWB is still visible and the fourth alphabet could be Z. |
