The latest version (2010) of the First cabin (termed "Prime" internally by British Airways, or "New First") is available on all 4-class 777s and all 747s.
An newer evolution (2013) of the First seat (Prime+) is found on all A380s, and a newer version still (2015) is available on all 787-9s.
The older version of the First cabin (termed "Classic" internally by British Airways, or "Old First") has now been withdrawn.
747 information updated to 31 March 2016. Last change: withdrawal of G-BNLF, the last OF aircraft

747 seatmap discrepancy.
on my outbound LHR - YYZ, there are galleys shown at the rear of the cabin.
on my return YYZ - LHR, there are NO galleys shown at the rear of the cabin.
Therefore,
Since my outbound is a 52J config, could the galleys actually means 52J.
Since my return is a 70J config, could the lack of galleys mean 70J.
Or does this have other significance?

Apologies if this has been reported before but this thread now has over 1000 posts.
I noticed on EF on the seat maps page, not the flight listings page, that some BA flights post with aircraft designators of 77N and 47A instead of us the usual 777 and 747 designators. I have also seen a 74C & 77F (which has only 3A showing in that row) as well so not sure on that one. Could some of these be new F indicator?

MMB on ba.com
Was no cot showing on seat map at all until t-80, then it appeared by row 5, and the wardrobe which had previously been between 1a/k vanished
EDIT:
Just spoke to You First, and they told me its not the new cabin on my flight... although mmb seatmap still shows the cot by row 5, and Expertflyer is showing my flights config as 14F/70J/30W/177Y hi-J config (which as per earlier in this thread, all 8/8 of that config have been converted to NF)
Maybe You First are fed up with people asking so just give a random answer now...

On my BA 287 the seat map changed 2 times. Initial it had wardrobe and galleys/WC. Then around 4 days before the flight the galleys/WC disapppeared. And at T-72 the wardrobe disappeared too. Only 5K is open and does not show a cot. The SFO flights have been mostly mid-J recently.

Just a bit of optimism for you....
After being assured yesterday by YouFirst that our DFW-LHR flight tonight would, regrettably, be old first....our beautiful 744 aircraft just pulled up to the gate with every third window in front blocked out.
Yeah!!!
