I've checked the above and none of them appear to be due to weather or ATC issues. BA now only has 310 departures out of 636 for LHR. There was a very restricted Regulation in place, since 09:00 hrs it's been set at 41/60 but with such a low workload I would expect that to go in a few hours. But the Safeguard has gone, at least.

Landing RWY: 27R
Airborne holding (mins): 20min Avg
