Er...nothing, really. Airbus assures me that this isn't a made-in-Toulouse version of the 'tall vehicle, low bridge' gaffe, which would have been unfortunate timing given that the A330-200 freighter is scheduled to make its maiden flight tomorrow.
Although the appearance of the vertical fin in this photo, from the Skyliner site, has prompted one or two comments in web-world, a chap close to the programme says the working party had removed the Flight Test Installation end-cap for a minor modification. It's already back in place ready for 'le grand spectacle'.
