Is it me or frames are coming into FAL at about 2-3 per month still? I do vaguely remember us being at msn 30 by May/June and 4/5 months later just now loading msn 40/41? I would have guessed by now to be actually around msn44/45 by now but oh well seems things are delayed at the back end. MSN29 was loaded in station 50 on 1st of june. Now MSN 40 was reported to be there 1week ago. This is exactly 3 per month even with summer break. We will see at the end month if Spirit increased to 4. |

I've just realised that I misidentified where in the FAL MSN41 is, I wrote station 59 instead of station 50 (which I've now updated) |

The first picture strikes me as odd, the port side two smaller cockpit Windows have been removed ! Why do this when its not under cover ? edit - starboard Windows ! Never was good with boats ! |

We will see at the end of the month if Spirit increased to 4 Fuselage of MSN 51 spotted in XFW today just 2 months after the one of MSN 43, so preFAL is clearly at 4 per month. |

We know H1 numbers, but for the suppliers who are struggling to meet the required pace, the production rate is probably still increasing in Q3 ... At this moment in time the suppliers are geared for 5 per month, What comes out at FAL is different. Its FAL that needs to up its game. After all, next year the roll out is supposed to be 5per m,onth. |
