I had YMMC back from Las Vegas on Friday, it had arrived at LGW from New York only 24 minutes late, but departed LGW 1hr 42 late. We left Vegas over 2 hours late, but landed just over an hour late.
Interestingly our flight was also showing an advanced delay, whilst the aircraft was still on its way to Gatwick from New York.
The Captain blamed a shortage of aircraft at Gatwick.
I know further up thread someone stated MC had issues, and a LHR frame had deputised.
