So that seems to be waiting transportation in Hamburg. So is this part usually the first one to go to TLS? I doubt we will have start of FAL till at least late September or October.Again i hope i am wrong. It would be nice to see msn 5 to get in FAL asap so we can finally look forward to commercial msn's started soon after.

No, section 19 just arrived in Hamburg and will be mated with section 16 before being shipped to TLS. Once mated, it will look like this:  This is section 19 separate:  MSN5 FAL start is scheduled for the beginning of October. |

Good to see the Wings are no longer holding up the operation. How things change quickly in just 12 months. This time last year it was all about the wings causing much of the attention. This delivery is 1 month before the start of FAL. I look forward we will see the parts for msn 6 coming next month..

Is it clear that this wing pair is for MSN 5 ? Could they be for MSN 4 ?

There was a small miscommunication, those were indeed the wings for MSN4. MSN5 wings are confirmed in Broughton and will be shipped to Bremen for outfitting in the coming weeks.
