I'm in (subject to availability!). I fondly remember the Stockholm 787 and Frankfurt A380 test flights.

Oh, dear, I’m having an attack of Av-Geek.

I think I might be tempted, especially if it was ex-LGW! However, ex-LHR tends to be a bit of a PITA, involving the nausea of the M23/M25 and almost certainly hotels.

Call me “Vaguely Tempted”, and dependent on timing of “Gold Renewal Holidays”

By the way: IB will use their A350 on the LHR route from June 2018.

Any clues as to where BA might use the beast? Very l/h with high demand, one assumes, such as LAX and SIN?

I didn't realise we were expected to respond to declare interest, so Mrs Roger and I are interested.

I missed the A380 training flights, except when one crept up on us from behind and landed at Manston as we were driving in an otherwise peaceful part of Kent!
