Please use this thread to enquire which aircraft registration is scheduled to operate a future BA flight.
Self Help Tips
The best publicly-available resource is probably Flightradar24 data :
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/
This frequently shows aircraft allocations 2 or 3 days out. Click through the aircraft registration to see the schedule for that aircraft, including the inbound for your own flight.
Note that while FR24 is pretty reliable, it is subject to change and the occasional error.
If there is no aircraft allocated, then you could try looking at the same flight 7 days previously as a pointer to the aircraft rosters for your own day.
For historic flight data, the subscription-free version of FR24 only goes back 7 days. thebasource tracker goes back much further :
http://thebasource.com/trackers/
BAs own internal systems sometimes have better data than you see on FR24, and FT is fortunate is having a number of correspondents who have access to internal data, which they post as a courtesy.

WTP is basically full! 22E shows as free and available, but the only other seats not taken are 20A/E/K and I believe they are blocked until check-in as they are reserved for people travelling with small children.

787-10. No tickets available for sale in WTP, the cabin is there just rammed, as is F and CW.
