Folks, a number of recent posts, which have nothing at all to do with BA and detract from the positive message at the start of the thread, have been removed.

it was booked last March and I assume that I have no clever options open to me as the ticket is only valid a year from booking is that correct ?
as such I can only get an avios refund ?

Don't cancel it yourself yet. I suspect it is highly likely that BA will cancel the flight (assuming your flights are on BA) and you will be able to get everything back.

Had posted earlier in the week with a couple of questions about cancelling a March 2-4-1 flight LHR to JNB in F and rebooking to somewhere else later in the year.
Cancelled JNB flights on Monday - immediately got vouchers and VERY happy to have snagged J flights LHR-SYD for three weeks in Aug/Sept today. Very well timed for BA to have announced their 50% Avios sale yesterday as we did need to buy a few extra. All fairly simple so thank you for advice.

I just missed out on my return leg of my first 2-4-1 so looking to reschedule my outbound. When you cancelled your 2-4-1, were you able to do it in MMB, applying for a voucher, or did you call up? Did it return like a 2-4-1 into your account so you were able to get your SYD flights online?
Still feeling happy and positive despite some of the comments above!

I cancelled in MMB and two voucher numbers were emailed to me straight away (within 10 mins). We then had to call in to use them. First call was transferred 3 times (despite explaining every time that we had FTVs including a 2-4-1) and then dropped out - second call worked straight away so maybe be prepared for some agents not to know how to process them.
