Yes, it was less than 24 hours before outbound flight. Companion did his own OLCI at T-24, then I advised BA he would be unable to fly (so they could offload him) at about T-2.

Mildly eventful ending to today’s EDI-LGW trip - full thrust for a seemingly-standard go around (not that I’ve experienced many). Occurred quite suddenly, after gear down, but (I think) just before...
