By pure chance, after noticing the flight from AUH arriving very late, I started looking at other BA delays (bored in the airport!) and saw that the 216 was a creeping delay. First due to go at 12:50, then 13:30.... and onwards.

Upon departure, I spotted at least a couple of A380’s parked in the maintenance area.
there are always at least a couple parked there during the day. Most arrive first thing and don’t redepart again until late afternoon/evening.
