Same for the A350 production. Wait...aren't the A350 tails spotted at Toulouse? Only after final assembly. What I meant is, the A350 aft sections are loaded in Hamburg: www.flickr.com/photos/xfwspotter/12287443054/Without the aft section, we won't know when exactly the next A350 goes into final assembly. |

It seems Airbus is now using the new Beluga dock. Now we can only hope the TLS spotters keep their eyes wide open  |

Fortunately, no unloading hangar seems to be planned in TLS. In the future, our spotters will still have opportunities to provide us with information about deliveries to the pre-FAL area !
(from the press release linked to by jkkw)
"Later this month, the second Beluga loading hangar will open at Airbus’ Bremen, Germany production site – to be followed by the company’s facilities in Saint-Nazaire, France; Broughton, UK; and Getafe, Spain; along with another in Hamburg".

True, yet we still see some pictures of A380 tails in TLS, after they have been unloaded. For instance, MSN 170 in Fabien's May 15th post in the following thread : a380.boards.net/thread/811/a380-msn170-ey-2?page=3I hope we keep seeing this type of picture in the future if we don't have the XFW ones anymore. Unfortunately, I think we haven't yet seen a single picture of an A350 tail in TLS ... |

The dock/hangar is located at the A330/A350 site so the A380 fin has to cross the runway, making it a perfect target for the spotters.  |
