No, obviously MSN125 spent way more weeks than just 2 weeks, for wing repairs in the hangars,... I agree that it would maybe have been preferable to wait until December and get a 'clean' aircraft, but I guess that if they are taking it in October, it is that they maybe have no other choice, maybe MSN087 is getting close to the time it has to be repaired, and the only choice they have is to take delivery of a non-repaired plane. If Thai was to get the 2 last planes 'repaired', 100% chances that MSN131 would have had been delivered after MSN125, as MSN125 is now repaired, but it is apparently not going to be the case,...

MSN131 was towed out onto the flight line on 11th October, I guess it must have gone into a hanger for some work sometime between the 1st and the 11th (in full colours)

There are a few nice pictures of MSN131 taxiing on the runway at today's thread Aviation Friends Hamburg Forum, it is also written that it should ferry to TLS on Thursday. Fabien
