Any more info on this? Is it "serious" or just the winglet itself?

Not sure. One of the posters on A.net seems to think the wingtip looks damaged.

MSN003 - which is identical to MSN1 and will be the next to fly in the coming weeks - has completed its outdoor ground tests including fuel and pressurization and has now been fitted with its two Trent XWB engines. MSN003, which will be used for the cold and hot weather campaigns, is thus one step closer to its maiden flight. www.aviationbusiness.com.au/news/airbus-a350-xwb-test-program-remains-on-schedule |

MSN3 was moved to paint today, and will roll out next week. It will be handed over to the flight test crew directly afterwards.

I guess it will depend on the registration of MSN3. Does anybody know what it is yet?

Correct, Airbus France callsigns are built like this: AIB**## AIB, speaks for itsself ** = the testflight number 1, 2, 3, 4,.... ## = the final 2 letters of the registration (WB for F-WXWB) Airbus Germany (No A350, but I'll add them) AIB***X *** = The last 3 numbers of the MSN number (MSN5787 will become 787) X = The testflight number.. But they use letters (A for nr1, B for nr2... etc...) |
