To be fair though you did something that is not really advisable for positioning by trying to go up on the last flight the day before and not on BA (I think you booked U2). Had you either done a b2b on BA at INV (highly recommended) or done the new nightstopper (so last BA flight up day before to get the first leg down the next day) you would have probably found BA easily persuadable to let you start from LHR if your BA positioning flight had been cancelled,
I don't say this to have a go at you or to try and reopen any specific discussion about your case, but merely to reassure the OP or other readers that an exINV should be low risk if you choose the right positioning options.
