So it overtook both MSN 223 and 224? Interesting. MSN 223 and 224 were rolled out before MSN 225, they just had no engines waiting for them, 225 has RR engines so they were ready on time

Roll out on this forum means when the aircraft is fully ready for first flight. MSN 223 and 224 are not ready yet.

MSN 225 is not ready for its first flight yet either ! A couple of engine runs and then an RTO need to be done yet, so Roll out date should be after these events then ?

According to the definition set on this forum, an airplane cannot be rolled out without engines. It's that simple. Perhaps FabienA380 can explain it a bit better

PS the inboard starboard engine is on, but the cowling seems to be missing ? It's covered with the blue sheeting. We've seen this these blue covers in the past, sign that the frame is staying a little longer on the FL (MSN041LH for example), but it was on the frame's all engines.... Maybe the picture was taken 'while' the blue covers were set? as engine #3 covered, picture, then engine #4 set after the picture?.... Could the blue cover(s) say that the frame would be waiting for MSN223EK and MSN224EK, letting them rollout/FF/transfertoXFW before its own FF and transfer to XFW?....

Look carefully at Engine #3 you can see the engines shape, no cowling ! That's why it's covered.

Can we call a roll-out when some cowlings are still missing ?

Can we call a roll-out when some cowlings are still missing ? I guess they can fly without cowlings ? But according to the rules it's not rolled then, as not ready to fly PS peter will have to start noting roll outs without cowlings !
