    Does anyone have any definitive information on the status of any of these?
    9V-SQB is confirmed as stored at Airfleets.com, and I saw a report -- may have been AirBritain's news mag -- that she ferried to VCV last month.

    I've nothing on any of the 773s, except, as you say, nada ACARS reports......................

            SQB on Fri 19/June operated SQ422 to BOM departing from gate F52.

            She's still around.

              July edition of Silverkris shows 31 772 and 15 77E in fleet further confirming that SQB is still around.

                Yes I caught a glimpse of SQB the other day sitting south of the F gates.

                  As of today, the SQ 777s without ACARS reports in the last 30 days are 9V-SYD, 9V-SQB, 9V-SRF, and 9V-SVC. 9V-SQB has been otherwise reported to be in operation. 9V-SRF and 9V-SVC are probably just coincidental and may show up in an ACARS report sometime soon.

                  9V-SYD hasn't shown up in several months and is probably either undergoing cabin refit (with a delay mid-way through) or is the one 777-300 that will not be refitted and has already been delivered to her new owners. I suspect the former.

                    Thanks zvezda for the update.
                    I find it a little odd that official information on the 777 cabin refit is so not happening.

                      Amazing really, I thought the re-fits were suppose to start in February but not a word as yet.

                      SQ238.

                        My guess is that 9V-SYD started her cabin refit in February, as per the previous announcement in the employee magazine and some sort of a major snag was found in one of the products that required redesign. If so, 9V-SYD would have been fully stripped and then all work stopped mid-way through installation of the new cabin. Since this is speculation, I have no idea which product (seats, lavs, galleys, etc.) might be the problem and no way to guess how long it might take to manufacture the replacement.

                          Then again it was 46 in June. So it looks like they took SQB out of service but decided to reintroduce it back into the fleet.

                            On June 17, I saw 9V-SQB in a parking stand with full SQ colors!

                              9V-SYA has been flying regularly since 13 June, according to ACARS database. Last recorded flight was 2 July as SQ863 (HKG-SIN). There was, however, no flight recorded between 14 May and 13 June. Anyone knows the reason for its 1 month absence?
