Virgin Aircraft Fleet Changes

Heard via another forum that VS are going to dispose of 4 A340-600's. What will they be replaced with and can anyone tell me the latest on the delayed A380's?

The A330s that have been out on lease plus perhaps 1 or 2 more (can't remember how many are planned to be delivered this year)

The A380s are due on the 12th of Never.
Four A346s are leaving this summer with five new A330-300s coming from Airbus. That still leaves three A330s out on lease.

Sad to see the A346's going as they are still quite young aircraft and hopefully a good home will be found for them perhaps in Iran like the A340-300's which went that way!

When will VS be disposing of the A340-300's?

Surprised and disappointed about the A380's though. Will VS's A380 order ever be fulfilled I wonder?
