Why would MSN147 perform a RTO before it gets painted?

Why would MSN147 perform a RTO before it gets painted? If Airbus started flightline trials in HFW before painting, that would be an entirely new process. Of course, there may be a specific reason we don't know of ... |

My guess is that both Paint Bays are occupied and Airbus (and/or Emirates) don't want to loose time sitting on the Flight Line, perhaps do CFF + some flight tests and paint it thereafter, I don't think it would matter?... Fabien  |

I was wondering if we would consider it as a CFF or just a check-flight?...CFF? Fabien |

Is this the first time an unpainted frame is flying from HFW ?
