Would the reason for the LHR-BOM delay have any impact on compensation (e.g., if that was weather/extraordinary circumstances)?

These are really questions for the EC261 thread, whereas this thread is for the reasons for delays and cancellations. But he doesn't need proof and the BOM delay won't affect the original claim.
