Yes they were outfiiting and doing wing fix at the same time in 261-266. The British guys who were doing the wing fix were only sometimes shouting something you couldn't understand before riveting so you knew you had to put your ear plugs in. I think I didn't see any scaffolding around the wings in the bays 213 and 214 the one or two times I walked trough there. Yes, sometimes I saw one of them empty...looks really impressive. I think at the family days in August 2005 visitors were allowed in there. Anyone who has photos (I was a little child at this time, so I don't have any) Some are also speculating whether A350s might be painted in there. They already painted a A340-600 for Etihad from what I know in there: Etihad Airways - Airbus A340-600 - A6-EHJ - John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) - November 20, 2009 1229 RT CRP von TVL1970 auf Flickr

We now have two forum members confirming this ( UK380 was the first one last August).

For everybody to enjoy, even not eagle-eyed spotters can now have a look from above at Finkenwerder plant on Google Earth, there is an image updated on July 2013, in which HL7621 and another EK frame can be admired on the flightline.
Have a nice week. AOIspotter

A question for the outfit program: with how many shifts are the A380s being outfitted? Or are they just working from 9am to 5pm?
