Not seen outside at TLS yesterday 24th Nov, would it be possible to add the information block to the first post like the production frames

MSN3 has gained some sort of green patch just above the wingroot. Any idea what it may be, a fix or some sort of modification?  AIB245GG 15/12/2014 by A380_TLS_A350, on Flickr |

Thanks jkkw!
Why would they do such things, just one winglet off the wing?......

Thanks jkkw! Why would they do such things, just one winglet off the wing?...... I guess to "prove" that an A350 which would have had a closed encounter (of the third kind) on the ground could still fly back home safely for repairs  |

I guess to "prove" that an A350 which would have had a closed encounter (of the third kind) on the ground could still fly back home safely for repairs My thoughts exactly. It'll probably help to determine how much more drag the aircraft has and hence fuel consumption as well as whether the missing winglet impacts on handling. |
