A nice selection of photos kindly shared by John Spencer http://www.flickr.com/photos/mehereinthepool/

FWWID, MSN11333, returning from her 12th test flight, AIB12ID. In full Go First colours, although I understand she will actually be delivered to THY as TC-LUY.

FWWIT, MSN11685,  taxying out for her “rejected take off” test usually done before the first flight…..which happened the following day as AIB01IT.

FWWIW, MSN0607, about to commence a “rejected take off” test. Strangely her first flight was back in August!

FWWIX, MSN 11728, for Flynas. She will become HZNS72 once delivered. Strangely enough she was towed into the parking spot at the delivery centre recently vacated by HZNS62.

HZNS62 just commencing her delivery flight as XY4009 direct to Riyadh.

Both images show FWZFN, MSN 0558, returning from her third test flight as AIB03FN.

Originally built in 2021, and was slated for delivery to Aeroflot which is obviously embargoed. She has remained stored at TLS, i saw her parked there in September 2022. She is being made ready for deliver to Air India, and has been reported to be VTJRI once delivered. but as can be seen on the images, she is clearly marked as VTJRB.

FWWBO, MSN 11719, for Flynas. Returning from her second test flight as AIB02BO. She carries her future Saudi registration under the wing, (HZNS69) and the last two on the nosewheel door. In total there were four aircraft for Flynas present at TLS.

FWWET, MSN 1673, for Indigo. Returning from her third test flight as EVX03ET. She carries her future Indian registration under the wing, (VTIRK) and the last two on the nosewheel door.

FWWIT, MSN 11685, returning from her first flight as AIB01IT.

FWZGD, MSN 0651, returning from her third test flight as AIB03GD. In another great Sichuan Airlines “Panda” colour scheme.

FWWXL, MSN 0602, returning from her second test flight, AIB02XL

FWXAK, MSN 11662, being prepared for her delivery to Peach as JA215P.

FWWYM, MSN 0602, originally built for Air China, and delivered in 2006, but returned to Airbus in November 2021, and involved in unknown tests. Looking above the cockpit area, the markings are similar to USAF aircraft around the refuelling recepticle…….maybe a reader will have the answer……or any of your contacts at Airbus?

SX-LWC, Boeing 737 7K2 of Lumiwings, she was operating flight TU282 on behalf of Tunisair.
