You are on G-TTNO, which came in on time from Madrid but would not have been the original aircraft for that sector, so they waited until that NEO was available.
See post 159. Welcome to Flyertalk and welcome to the BA forum.

I am in a prolonged tussle with BA re: compensation for the late cancellation of BA1421 BHD-LHR on 13/03/2023 and cursing my luck.
(By any chance, is it possible to know why that March Belfast flight was cancelled please?)
Many thanks and all best
So the original BA 652 airframe on G -TTNG suffered an engine stall (brake down in airflow through the core of the engine) that necessitated a return to LHR. Aircraft change to G-TTNO and this is what has principally generated the delay. As the root cause is technical it will indeed be eligible.
