According to Malaysia Airlines MSN114 has left Toulouse and has arrived in Malaysia Edit: Just realized that I was far too slow as this "news" has been already posted in other thread(s). I was confused because MSN114 is still listed to be at the "Delivery Centre". Fabien will correct it soon, I am sure

The blog states that 2 frames in the FAL have initial registrations allocated:
MSN141 will be first registered F-WWAG and eventually A6-EES, and MSN142 will be first registered F-WWAH and eventually A6-EET.
Along with the 1st Qatar frame having its registration announced on the blog when it had barely arrived at Toulouse, have things changed?
It used to be that the appearance of a frame on the Flight Line was also the announcement of its initial registration.
(And that's ignoring the fact these are consecutive - is that a first?)

Not a first, though good eye! MSN005 F-WWSB MSN006 F-WWSC MSN008 F-WWSE MSN009 F-WWSF MSN010 F-WWSG MSN011 F-WWSH MSN012 F-WWSI MSN013 F-WWSJ up to MSN017 F-WWSN (MSN019 is F-WWSP) and others... In the past indeed we lacked sources so the frames' temporary registrations were discovered once rolled out, I guess we've found (XWB did) one were we can see the registrations before roll out,...

Fabien Thanks for that - I must admit I didn't have that info, that far back. Was almost getting to the point where a competition could be held for next roll-out registration. Was it MSN100 (certainly a TG frame if it wasn't), displaying 2 different registrations on roll-out?

Indeed hehe it was MSN093, WWAP and WWAN if I remember correctly... It went for AN eventually... First frame rolling out with a WWA* registration was MSN047 with WWAD. Fabien

Information is a little out of date now, but here is what was noted on the morning of the 1st September 2013 in TLS. No tours and doors only open a little bit, so more speculation than fact this time! Body join was in active use, with the main fuselage sections in the body join frame. The wings for the next frame (which I assume was msn 150) were on the ground waiting to be attached as was the tail cone. Nose on to the frame in body join was an EK A380 in primer. I would say that it was probably msn 142 as seen in this picture (http://a380.boards.net/post/11276/thread). So the person taking this photo would have had their back to the body join rig. Seen in Poste 30A (tour side far poste) was an unidentified LH A380 which I would assume is 146? F-WWAO / D-AIMKA380-841msn 146 Lufthansa by DigitalAirliners.comNext to it in poste 30B was an unidentified QR A380 Outside were msn 121 (BA full colours) and msn 137 (QR) and of course msn 002

Thanks for the update Well, we can see a LH tail and MSN 149 is still in "stage 1" (tail pointed to the doors) so yes, I'd say this is MSN 146.

Thanks for your report digitalairliners!! Was the picture of the LH frame taken from outside, on the right side of the FAL (tour side), or on the left side of the FAL?... If on the right, it should be MSN146(30A), if on the left it should be MSN149(FALstage1). MSN146 is in post 30A indeed, that's the post where it has been since the first pictures of it inside the FALstage2. On 30B is the sole QR in FALstage2, MSN143. Was there any frame on 30C (closest post from the pathway)?... The FAL is supposed to be full now, there should have been a frame there, either MSN147-EK or MSN148-BA?... Fabien
