A340 in Darwin?
Just wondered if anyone knew what an A340 still in Airbus factory colours was doing parked in Darwin? Has Strategic bought one?
Anyone got any ideas.
Thanks

I believe it's the oldest A340-300, about 17 years, and Airbus is using it to flight test new pitot (possibly static too) system after the Air France accident last year.
Lotsa could & ice up the Top End.
One of the Ginger Beers told me yesterday that Airbus used the same airframe to test the A380 engines.
Due to leave soon.
