G-LCYI was the scheduled aircraft which was due in from DUS as the BA3276. Weather at LCY is the issue. The last few hours looked like this:

EGLC 161850Z 10009KT 3000 -DZ BKN003 09/09 Q1026
EGLC 161820Z 10009KT 3000 -DZ BKN003 09/09 Q1026

The ceiling has been solidly at 300ft, the E170 and E190 has a MDA (Minimum Decent Altitude) of 460ft when landing 09, which is higher than the ceiling. The cloud has recently gone from overcast to broken, so there might be a chance to get in now, as there are gaps in the cloud but all depends if the gap is on the approach to the runway!
