For anyone who thinks things are recovering, look at my list above. The September schedule has been cut back so far and BA will be running significantly fewer flights than July/August. I can see aircraft going back into storage, whether that be LHR/LGW or flown away again.

My ALC - LHR for early Sep has been cancelled - it would seem that direct flights are on Saturdays and Sundays only. Doubtless the quarantine upon return has had a lot to do with that.

Our flight from BLL on 6th September was cancelled today. I think this means we qualify for EC261 compensation as it’s within 14 days and we can claim overnight stay and travel expenses to get to CPH for a flight on 7th September?

Yes. Although I haven't seen many people on here claim since March.

MUC-LHR is now down to one flight per day on most days in September. The time varies by day. On many days a same-day connection to outgoing transatlantic flights is no longer possible, or there is a 5-7 hour layover in LHR on return flights USA-LHR-MUC.

It depends why it's been zeroed.
If it's been zeroed as part of the cancellation process, then the pattern that I've seen is that the flight is often formally cancelled overnight. The formal cancellation triggers the cancellation email. In these cases, I've been ready and waiting for that email to come.
If it's been zeroed because BA hasn't yet made a decision about whether or not to cancel the flight, then you just have to wait for a decision to be made. On some of my flights, sometimes everything was zeroed for a day or so while the schedule was rejigged and the number of flights reduced, before bookings were reopened on the remaining flights.
As always, zeroing a flight can't confirm anything other than that you can't now make a new booking for that flight. The rest is guesswork - including whether the flight will actually be cancelled.

You have saved me asking the question. My flight from ALC-LHR is zeroed out and has been for the past 48 hours. Id love to know why this is zeroed out - I suppose that it could be technically showing full as there was a flight the day after that was cancelled and maybe the passengers were moved on to that. Who can tell?
