Two sets of wings have now been
produced under the responsibility of the
Wing ACMT in Filton, UK and are being
completed prior to their delivery to the FAL.
The whole wing, consists of the centre
wing box from Saint-Nazaire in France and
the two outer wing boxes made in Filton.
One shipset is destined for the static test
airframe but will first be transported to the
FAL site in Seville where the three subassemblies
will be joined together prior to
being sent onward by road to Getafe and
fitted to A/C 5000.
