Can't argue with the second part of that statement, although it doesn't have any bearing on the first part. As I stated in my previous post

Re the confusion about the centre tank, none of the A330-300s delivered to date have this

I have never seen on a list a Airbus A330-020 or A330-057?
See http://easa.europa.eu/system/files/d...4_14122015.pdf

Note that the "057", etc, are weight variants of individual aircraft series. So, for example, you can have an A330-323 Variant 054 (Page 13 of the TC) as well as an A330-343 Variant 054 (Page 15). So it's not just a case of quoting the weight variant, e.g. "A330-057" as that wouldn't identify which series an aircraft was, or the engine type.
