If I remember correctly, ANA intended to take delivery in 2019. Of course, plans can always be changed ...

that would work, convoy in the first half of 2018 rollout and flight to XFW in the second half of 2018 and fitout in late 2018 early 2019 would see a delivery any time from mid 2019

No serious updates on convoy arrivals for quite some time now, I know not all convoys have been A380, some have been for the A.330 Beluga (c/n 1824) which is under construction at Toulouse, but the A380 sections that have arrived must be known by somebody, I know in the past the convoy on arrival was posted within a day or so, now that the line is winding down and slowing production does it mean the interest is being lost, or has someone changed jobs, from working at Toulouse-Blagnac. Just interested in why no info is available. Hoping for something positive.....

Yes, we used to have convoy pictures from member spotters, especially aranes380, but this now happens only occasionally. I remember he told us he moved to a different town some time ago, if I remember correctly.

Thank you for letting us know, some information to why the sightings have reduced over the last 5 months, seems we just have to keep guessing.
