Had been rumours that the 4th A380 would be delayed!

Also MSN047 was pretty certain for early 2010 from memory

No MSN047 has always been scheduled for at least over 1 and a half now. It is most likely to come out of the FAL within three weeks. My last source stated enignes had arrived in Toulouse mid April.

I saw MSNs 027 and 029 whilst in Hamburg last week. 027 was having its interior fitted but had not been painted, whilst 029 was in the paint hangar being buffed and polished. No sign of 026, the first 'Wave 2' aircraft, anywhere.

Is the delay as a result of the company delaying its production or Qantas delaying it due to financial or other reasons?
