"...You only read about the RR engines having catastrophic failure on the 380s....."
The 747 I believe doesn't use RR engines....unless that's a recent switch I wasn't aware of. I always thought 747s used P&W or GE engines.

I wasn't aware of. I always thought 747s used P&W or GE engines. I was jumping to conclusion, but the last Qantas 747 to have an 'engine problem' used RR:
"The warning came as a second Qantas jet – a Boeing 747-400 also powered by Rolls-Royce technology – returned to Singapore's Changi airport after reporting an engine problem shortly after take-off today [5 November 2010 ] ."

I know for a fact that the BA 747’s use RR engines. You can see the RR logo on the nacelles.
