I don't think it would be in Wings Repair now, otherwise I don't think Airbus' teams would have rolled it on the Flight Line a few weeks ago... Though, it is common for rolled-out-frames to go into Flight Line Hangar for little whiles in between roll-out and Engine Runs. Fabien

We have seen a string of transfers to HFW this month (4 altogether ? - I am not sure), and the trend seems to continue with MSN 139 already beginning engine runs /taxi tests.
I now expect both MSN 139 and MSN 140 to be transferred to HFW in early July. As you all know, these are the last two airframes intended for delivery in 2013 (next comes QR's MSN 137).
Airbus therefore seems to be trying to meet its initial 2013 delivery forecast (25 frames), in spite of the wing fix issue. Let's see if Airbus makes it. I think they can.

She's in the powerbox again. What's this powerbox and what do they do here?
