I booked it tonight - LHR-BLL on a Thursday (12:45-15:25) and then back on the Dornier same day (17:50-18:30) to LCY. Gives me a nice little bit of connecting time, and also allows me to get to and from DUB either side (BA out and I should just make the last EI service back at 21:10 with a DLR and Elizabeth Line connection to T2).
I've been wanting to do it for years, and since it may well be coming to an end, I bit the bullet and used some Avios for it.
