Was putting in all my models into temporary storage yesterday (boxing them up etc).
Came across the Airbus A340-600 test aircraft, and took off one of the engines, and put a 777 engine on in its place… now looking like an very good scale model of the A340 test aircraft thats been flying arounfd with the test A380 engine on it. 😀 (I know the real one is a 300 and not a 600 :p)
Heres a pic. :p

Yeah I will be coming over, was there as well 2 years back. The A346 was in the static with the A345 flying. A Virgin Atlantic A346 was also available but on trade days only.
I will be in England from saturday afternoon the 24th to thurday afternoon the 29th.

Last show they bought the 346 in the static park, and the 345 in the flying display (Or was it the other way around!) Perhaps 3 A340s was pushing it a bit?
Last year neither Boeing nor Airbus ever announced what they were actualy bringing. The srong rumour is they will bring the 777-300ER and that Air Berlin 737, but anything is possible and nothing yet confirmed.
Are you over here for the show Tenthije?

ROFL good one Andy! 😀 Looking forward to seeing this one at Farnborough this year…
This is the list of Airbusses coming in for Farnborough. Any clue why the A340-500 is not coming? Also, still no word from Boeing on their commercial airplanes contribution. Two years back they had only one plane come over. The CONEXXION test bed, a 737-400.
Farnborough ’04
