A380 question

Okay, this is kind of geeky, but I flew on the Singapore Airlines A380 and will do it again on the return trip. I know from Wikipedia that: The first aircraft delivered (MSN003, registered 9V-SKA) was handed over to Singapore Airlines on 15 October 2007.

So, the 3rd A380 built was the first one sold. But if I am on the plane, is there a way for me to find out which MSN (I guess "manufacturer serial number"?) I am flying on?

I am curious for a lot of reasons, but especially because I visited the A380 site in Toulouse back when they were still building the MSN003 and saw it during the tour. Yes, okay, kind of a geek, but in my defense, last week I got a 1.5 hour private tour of the Airbus facilities in Toulouse and started to wonder...

Cheers, Powers

ps. I thought about posting this in the SIN Krisflyer thread, but I think the question could apply to Emirates, Air France, etc. as well, up to the mods I guess.
