Interestingly there was a paper presented at SETP Toulouse last week from Airbus and Marshalls about their Test Bed.

I seem to remember that they said there was a requirement to configure the Test Bed to be representative to that of the A400M configuration (See here for what I think they are trying to achieve http://www.a400m-countdown.com/index.php?v=2&spage=7).

So based on GlassCollector's OP don't think it rotates "clockwise as seen from behind" I think it must be the opposite (and hence opposite from the normal engine next to it).

They also said that they will use full power at rotate by the means of a reduced number 1 (but not so far reduced that they can't handle a test engine failure if it were to happen).
