Did BA get rid of F on its route from LHR to TYO?

just going through the forums and saw this article discussing JAL / BA F award availability and:
JAL First Awards Pulled?

A month ago (28/05/2020) when the post was put up you can see that BA does sell F on its metal between the two destinations however checking today (20/06/2020) there does not seem to be any on BA metal.

There are two flights a 777 with F and a 350 without (naturally) so Im wondering did BA change their 777 to a standard 3 class without F or is it planning to roll out a different plane?

There’s been a few threads in this one, have a look:

No F to Tokyo November 2020?
First to Tokyo?

I’d be surprised if it went.

It’s a flagship £5k F route.

thanks for that - looks interesting - a mix of speculation of BA not wanting to compete with JL on F (be it quality or JV related) or just aircraft swaps - so fingers crossed it does come back - may see it being an A350 on BA 5/6 and 777 refresh or 787-9 with F after Covid

I suspect though much of this is up in the air as you cannot find BA7 or 8 on Flight Radar
