Flicker says: "This photo was taken on February 19, 2013 using a Canon EOS 50D." The XWB engine is already certified. I remember Airbus saying that even though the Trent XWB is certified, they'll keep on testing it on the A380 for a while longer.... |

The photo petera380 is referring to is from early certification tests before the plane entered the service. This is the tail strike test. The date on the photo is misleading
