There's a rumour doing the rounds here that a recently delivered A330-200 was late in arriving at QF due to a mishap at Toulouse.

It's alleged that after manufacture, Airbus put the 'bus through a washer which malfunctioned resulting in "all outer window panels requiring replacement".

Can anyone from QF/Airbus confirm/deny this?
