There was a 787 on LHR-ATH last summer, I discovered it by accident and was able to use the Free Same Day Change to move onto the flight.
AMS and MAD have had them before as well.

Yes, both ceos and neos have 30" pitch in CE across all aircraft types, and all have recline (except the row ahead of exit rows). The only difference in CE is that ceos have a middle console table, and neos don't.

I think this related to the NEO ET offering, where the slimmer Recaro seating does not recline.

The only way of getting the middle seat blocked on the SH 767 was to take the middle seats as the layout was 2-3-2.

CE can be up to Row 12 on most A320 and A320neo aircraft, but the G-GATx aircraft go up to Row 13 (which is the same physical location on the aircraft). CE can be up to Row 10 on the A319, except the G-DBCx aircraft which can be up to Row 8. CE can be up to Row 14 on the A321 and A321neo.
It's the A320neo and A321neo that feature the non-reclining slimline seats in Euro Traveller, spaced at 29". All other aircraft have the same reclining seat throughout spaced at 30" (except Euro Traveller rows on the A319, which are also 29"). All aircraft except the G-DBCx A319 fleet (and possibly a few soon to be retired mainline A319s) feature wifi and at-seat power (USB and socket in Club Europe, and at least USB in Euro Traveller).

What I am not sure about your comment is the bit around all aircrafts have charging points, as I actually now have been on few a320 without them, including this last one I mentioned the tail number of

That's been my experience too, or they are very very well hidden!

It is certainly competitive. On the the LCY based Embraer's I think they should consider blocking seats, like they do in mainline, but I realise that that would signal the end of the 69 or so upgrade (which I only ever take up if I need TP's quickly).

On my last two flights (from DUB and NAP into LHR) on both occasion I specifically asked the CC and was told that not all aircraft have charging points, and on those we were travelling at the time, unfortunately there werent any.

I had a lot of sub 75 upgrade offers over the last two years up to the summer just gone, but on all my latest EuroTraveller booking, the offer has been a fix 90!

that's very unlucky not to have them twice now. i must admit i thought all the fleet had been done, but if that isn't the case it must be a small handful not having them - i can't say i have come across one recently.

It's the A319s that may well not have charging points. The A320s and A321s have them.

our 321 LHR to LIN on Friday had no charging outlets. IFL quite embarrassed as bulkhead sticker referred to them. That shouldnt be there. Although we did have wifi which was in heavy use across the 12 rows of Club.
