The final retirement was to be in February 2024. The 3 retro jets were going to be amongst the last with G-BNLY being one of the 2023 threesome.
Granted that was alongside a 777-9 delivery schedule of 8 in 2022, 6 in 2023 and 4 in 2024. So who knows what might have happened there with extending the 747 life if the 77X was still delayed.
Put it this way, my info was was from post your info date
but it's all a bit academic now anyway
