Not infallible, as these are always subject to change, but it should give you a good indication.
Currently FR24 shows BA2855 as departing on time and operated by G-GATS. This is currently shown as en route from PMI to LGW, expected to land 20 mins early, so any delay notification doesn't look like it's due to a late inbound aircraft.

G-GATS is having a busy day. It started off today (1st June) at LGW and operated the BA2878 to Palma de Mallorca and then returned to LGW as the 2879. It's then heading to Faro as the 2854 in order to take you back on the 2855.
Of course, some of this may change during the day.
most excellent - this is what flyertalk is so good at, thanks all that replied.
I will now track my inbound flight to make sure i optimize sun2boarding ratio... cheers all.
