On the move. Maybe a delivery flight. Edit: in the air. Only a short delivery flight On the direct way to Bordeaux. Without being painted, will she be a frame like MSN52, MSN55 that Airbus stored her for months?

Nope not in this case. MSN 5 is scheduled to enter service in early August.

What was the callsigh for the delivery flight? If I am right, "FHREU" was the callsign for the flight.

So, this frame is likely being painted by the airline or by groupe Dubreuil, after delivery. There may be more than one reason for this but in this case I doubt they are taking advantage of their own paint shop, as they probably don't have any.
Did they miss the deadline to provide their livery details to Airbus ? Or is the group having cold feet about the creation of French Blue ? Or could it be some tax scheme ...

Or could it be some tax scheme ... Who knows. It's likely cost-related but which way? Sabena Technics has a painting facility in BOD, Airbus has sent factory new aircraft there for years. But Sabena Technics is also partnered with Group Dubreuil in some JV. Anyway, there's more here
