Don't know why it's not still flying
I think it has to do with regulations that demand a certain amount of available spares and maintenance. Once you no longer have the required spares, the plane becomes unserviceable and must be taken out of commission (or something like that, it's been quite a while since I read that).
I was in Bristol at MoD's DPA when it "came home", did a fly by and then landed there for that last time.
If Branson has come up with something to replace it he'll certainly gets one over on the people at BA that did everything to prevent him from taking over and fly them for a bit longer..
