Tarbes LFBT

I was passing by Tarbes airport last week and decided to pop in for a look-see. As expected there were quite a few stored aircraft, some waiting to be parted out and in various states of being cannibalised. Amongst these was a seemingly perfect A350, minus engines, which was surprising. Would anyone be able to shed light on why this would be ?

Also, within a line of stored, but viable A340's, were perhaps 5 or 6 unused examples, still with their pre-delivery registrations (F-WXXX etc). I think that they were A340-300 variants. Were they ordered and never taken up ?
