Nope.

BA 460/461 is the usual 777 rotation. And is very much still in the schedule for my flights.

BA464/465 is a A319/320 mix usually than will according to above be A350 soon.

EDIT: 777 showing on both days you mentioned. In fact I’m on the 460 on the 15th.

Are these dates 100% guaranteed? Thinking of booking before BA advertise them but don’t want to fly on an A319 at the end.

I would say that pretty much nothing in commercial aviation (just like life) is 100% guaranteed! YMMV.

Probably better than 50:50 you would get an A350 if you do book, but there is still a significant likelihood it may be a A319 in the end. I think the risk of not getting it is even higher for the first week (6-13 August) as the start could easily be delayed a few days. I think if possible booking with avios may be a good strategy so at least you can cancel if you want.

My own opinion having done both recently, BA = better food; IB = better seat and IFE switched on.

Of course, if you don't book, the risk of not getting an A350 is extremely high.
