A6-EUI, a 3-class frame, was delivered earlier this year, though it was originally scheduled for 2016 but was delayed due to damage which occurred during production that needed to be repaired. Also, there are still at least two more 3-class frames scheduled to be delivered this year.

Is this a 3-class frame as well?

Also, I drove past DXB today and I saw two plain white 777s parked next to each other near the EK hangar, could they possibly have been A6-EMN and EMU preparing to leave DXB?

Yes, A6-EQE is a 3-class frame....don`t know about the 2 frames parked in DXB.

But I do believe they could be A6-EMN and EMU as well.

Agreed... VIM is a likely destination.
A6-EBM is back in service, so there`s 5 B777/300ER still stored.

Only a few more months until the first 777 with the new F suites arrive, maybe they'll show us at the DXB airshow?

Think that's almost certainly going to happen. Big sign outside J/F terminal entrance in DXB advertising the new F reveal in November.

Any insider tips about the timescale for a retrofit of the new F across the fleet?

A6-ECK which was stored at DWC since 1st July is now back in service, bringing the active 777-300ER fleet number to 131, with 4 frames still stored at DWC.

Also, who keeps making an absolute hash of the Emirates fleet wikipedia page? I fix everything to how it should be, and some editor comes in and brings in a ton of unsourced and probably outdated information.
