By rollout I presume you mean the aircraft has moved to station 30?
also is Hangar C63 the one where MSN001 had it's engine's installed?
Great to have people in Toulouse (or sources in Toulouse) who can feed us this information!

MSN003 moved from station 40 to C63 on Monday, and than to station 30 on Thursday/Friday.
C63 is a giant hangar where they can do stuff without interrupting the assembly lines.

I saw an A350 in TLS on Wednesday, I was not able to read off the serial number, it was parked in the same location and the same hangar as MSN001 in the photos, was it MSN001 or MSN003 I saw?

MSN003 is in station 30 so it must have been MSN001.

Do you remember if it had engines attached?

No it was not possible to see if it had engines, it was viewed from a moving bus through a partially open door from a moving bus and as it was the first time I have seen a A350 I did not realise it until the tail came into view.
is it possible to describe the locations of the production locations for the A350 or better still for TLS in general?
thanks

Rumors are going around that MSN003 should roll out from station 30 during the Bourget airshow. It should then fly somewhere in August.
