In other Airbus news.... the company has loaded more than 400,000 surgical masks destined on to trucks at its HQ in Toulouse, France, to help deal with the UK’s shortage of protective equipment for healthcare workers.

The cargo is part of a batch of 6 million that have already been brought to Europe from China using several Airbus test aircraft.

Airbus said it had established an air bridge to China to bring large quantities of surgical masks to Europe to support governments in the fight against COVID-19.

The first UK consignment is due to arrive at Airbus’ Broughton site in North Wales on Friday. Here’s some footage of the masks being loaded.
