It's maybe the first frame to train cabin completion teams from Tjanjin ?!?! No, that would be MSN 1818. My idea was that teams from Tianjin come to Toulouse and learn to outfit the interior. They use an aircraft for China Southern to make eperience with a configuration they later have to do themselves at home. As the first one always takes longer to document the whole manufacturing process for an A330 (maybe also create Chinese documents) they take a plane which would come half a year later in the sequence. Let's wait an see, it's only a speculation.....

A sharp decrease in Q4 2015. The decrease is based on going to 6 frames a month perhaps we see an increase again in 1Q 2016.

I wonder if MSN 1760 was not just made up of spare parts ? All the component manufacturers keep ahead of ABs production schedules (I don't include Zodiac in this !) They have spares in case of accidents, dropped parts, a ship getting beached, parts damaged by being hit by a vehicle or caught out in a hail storm ! May be when all the mfgs had two or three spare sets they just said let's build one and make up an MSN, clear out our storage areas ? If you need a tail or horizontal stabiliser there they are in TLS !

It doesn't make sense to build a frame and spend all the time just to have it as spare parts

The horizontal stabilizer has been removed from MSN 1760 The HS may have been damaged and possibly sent back to its manufacturer for repair, or it may have been 'borrowed' because another frame needed a spare one.
