Good points Oxon Flyer , thanks for that...hmmm. ^

To also add to the previous information that August is the month when passengers will first see them:

(from djsflynn's website Australian Business Traveller):

The very first trial of British Airways' A380 will take place this coming Monday, July 8, with a planeload of BA staff – although the superjumbo will remain firmly on the ground

"We will bring 469 volunteer colleagues in, get everyone boarded, then bring the aircraft around to the base, close the doors and do a complete 11 hour service, to go through the entire end-to-end process" van der Post told Australian Business Traveller.

"We'll do two meal services, test the entire service routine, ask everyone to play with the IFE and really take us through the paces. We will do another one at the end of july and we will do the same with the 787, and that will hopefully give us some learnings, so we will have enough time change some things before we start flying to LA."
In any case, great to see the A380 and 787 finally delivered to LHR and BA. ^

BA CC: I'll happily ply you with alcohol, food, clothing...or sex if it comes to that...if you are willing to provide times and dates!
