Hardly a "don't tell anyone, they won't notice scenario", some of you may have seen this last week, but it appears what happened is that Airbus engineers were engine testing an A340 600 aircraft, prior to delivery to Etihad, who like many other carriers are desperate for the aircraft, when it appears the aircraft started moving and it hurled into the sound barrier, breaking the nose off the aircraft. Apparently the aircraft is write off and it appears that Airbus does not have any 430 600's in production and are not making any more, so leaving them and Etihad with bit of a dilemma.
