Yes, the selection of 380 BA staff was something they mentioned to us - very clever, although maybe they had trouble rounding up 787 staff for the day..?

What other bits of 'colour' can I add here..?

Well, there was a border control area set up in the hanger, of course - doesn't matter if you're the head of Airbus or BA, you still gotta go through customs! But this was basically just a desk, two chairs and a rope-line, nothing fancy.
