Built date now listed as 04/2014. I think 08/2013 must have been the original delivery date.

This is the perfect example of the idea of 'some storage'. If there was no storage at all we would not be able to see two different Forward Fuselage pieces in the same state of being ready for convoy. Very nice picture Olivier, merci!! Fabien

I do not agree because we do not know the state of the pieces. They only look the same. Also the middle section for MSN117 just finished construction, that doesn't look like storage at all.

Yes, to me I would assume that these 2 forward fuselage pieces are completed, as they have the white sheet on, assuming they are ready for convoy. If there were not ready for convoy, they would not have the white sheets on. About MSN117's centre fuselage, we don't know if it is completed, it doesn't look ready for convoy though (no white sheet) A380 MSN054 & MSN086 by BlackBear_31, on Flickr Fabien

If the center fuselage section was completed in April, it should have had the white covers by now. Also, it should not be outside today because the next convoy is not scheduled until the next 30 days. To me, it looks like the center fuselage section completed pre-assembly and was moved outside, to the next hangar of building to prepare it for convoy (or other work).

That sounds weird to me, because only 1 frame was deferred (AF) and now we suddenly have 3 forward sections in storage?

This further increases the idea of storage!.. Fabien
