Airbus A340 prototype made its first flight 25th Oct 1991 and was withdrawn from use LFBT (Tarbes) 6th Aug 2019

Leased from South African Airways (ZS-SXF) from Jun 2005 until Jul 2007.

Another puzzle right at the outer fence of the storage area. A blanc A340 with a german flag in the tail. Lufthansa never had the -500 series. It was not until I got home and enlarged some of the detail shots I made. On the nosewheel door I discovered a placard with 464. Now A340-500 cn 464 was delivered to Air Canada in June 2004 as C-GKOM and was leased to TAM as PT-MSL in 2007. It never returned to Air Canada, but went in storage. First in Rio, later at Marana and Schwerin-Parchim. Here it got the German Registration D-AAAL. In 2018 the A340 moved to Teruel. The reg was not seen from here.

Lots of Lufthansa widebody jets parked at Teruel. This A340-600 is fully wrapped up, but still looks very complete. The two letters in the top of the tail in the old c/s help a lot when trying to identify all the jets in the storage area.
