There might be some machines at Airbus in TLS which they can use to check on repair work (a type of X-Ray perhaps?) to confirm all has gone well. The Air France A350 which suffered a tail strike in Canada (Toronto?) back in January was moved back to Paris in June and then flew to TLS last week for final checks, so it appears Airbus, while satisfied the repair work has gone well, want to be 100% sure!

Thanks for the heads up on 2 interesting movements Can I help you ! (Great to see G-XWBC back in the air!)
