This guy clams that UA is refunding APD charged if you send them a BP for a flight out of the UK occurring less than 24 hours from arriving. This is of course a situation where you'd have a separate ticket on a different airline.

Anyone knows of something like this happening on BA?

I have in writing from HMRC that if the airline operating the second flight is able to connect the two PNRs by reference to each other, this constitutes a conjoined ticket for their purposes. Then after the flights have taken place, they can and should refund the APD.
