Do you think it's worth putting a complaint in and what might ba offer in this scenario? Thanks
For how long were you delayed exactly?
If in excess of 3 hours then it is likely that you are owed 300 euros in compensation under 261/2004 (50% of the full 600 euro entitlement as the delay was between 3 and 4 hours).

They made it 2 minutes under the four hour rule! Pedal to the metal over the Atlantic, no fools they.....
But more fool you for not checking what the Reg actually states...!
