I saw talk of them painting it in Virgin Atlantic colours on the A.net forumsl, so maybe we'll get some A380s in England, too!

Virgin has ordered 6 so that's quite likely Tweek. Here's the list so far. I don't know how old it is or if some customers have dropped out. This would be nothing unusual.

Singapore Airlines (launch customer with an order for 10 aircraft),
Lufthansa (15)
Emirates (41)
Air France (10)
Qantas (12)
Malaysia Airlines (6)
Virgin Atlantic (6)
International Lease Finance (10)
Kingfisher Airlines (5)
Qatar Airways (2)
Federal Express (10)
Korean Air (5)
Thai Airways (6)
Etihad Airways (4)
China Southern Airlines (5)

15 customers have announced firm orders for 149 A380 airliners. 17 of these are for the cargo version.

Their real orders are for the A380-900 (even larger)... The -800s will be returned to the factory when that one comes out

I expect we'll see the first A-380s in the UK as I think Singapore will be using them on the Heathrow - Changi route...

Some heads up: Emirates paint one is NOT F-WWOW, it's F-WWDD and has serial 004

Looks quite good.
