Sorry i was in a rush to get to a meeting and wanted to brake the news to the forum. I have now corrected the options date to 2010 [oo]

are these 777s 200ER or 200LR. i think that it would be great for BA to fly the 200LR,, then again how would you like to start flying nonstop to australia

It appears to be for the 777/200ER LINK HERE

It is also rumoured that BA purchased a further 4 Airbus A320's Airbus Order Link
