You may be right, Airbus delivered the 4th A330 MRTT today. Seems like we then might see 14 deliveries as Garuda took delivery on one more A330 yesterday

Seems like we then might see 14 deliveries as Garuda took delivery on one more A330 yesterday It is difficult to find out when the MRTT are counted, as quite a few are not finalized at Airbus. For the RAF most will be finalizes at Airbus Military at Getafe. But some are done at Cobham Aviation Services in Bournemouth. The RAF #4 should be MSN1275 and on www.planespotters.net it is still on order and as EC-330 and www.skyliner-aviation.de has it not under new registered.

Do they use two different registry numbers one for civil and one for military use?
It is in the air now as G-VYGG.
I changed my earlier post.

I remember reading that airframes ordered for military use are, as a first step, delivered to Airbus Military for completion. I cannot remember where I read that, though, and it should be checked.
If I am right, then the frame should be listed among other deliveries.

This one was not finalized at Airbus Military but at Cobham Aviation Service.
