British A/W B744 G-BNLV (25427) left Cardiff on 7/12 as BAW9150 en route to Victorville, CA for storage.

Qatar A/W B772LR A7-BBD (36016) left Paine Field, WA on 7/12 on delivery to Doha.

United A/L placed orders on 8/12 for twenty-five A350s & the same number of B787s. It is also taking out options on a further fifty of each type. These will be used to replace the carrier's B747s & B767s, with deliveries between 2013 & 2106. Good news also for Rolls Royce who have been selected as the engine supplier for the A350s. A decision concerning where it will place its order for a hundred narrow-body aircraft has been deferred until next year.

Nice thread Gerald. Really good way to catch up with the week;s events.

Considering they are the only engine supplier for the proposed 350, then not really a surprise or even news.
