Amman Queen Alia Take off Mins

I dont have access to the plates, or the Co Ops manual, but can someone please advise the TO Min for a Royal Jordanian 310 in lower than CavOK vis conditions.

Reason for asking, a few mornings ago, the RVR was 200m (atis), and departures were delayed. I estimated visability from terminal building to be in excess of 1km, as we were boarded. Sat on taxiway in Q, till vis improved to TO Mins, (capts info).... Vis at that point was well in excess of 1000m, perhaps even 1500m... eventually we departed, to London.

Did miss at London due to LHR ATC initiated GA due to reduced approach minimum.......I am certain (!!!!) that the crew maintained ATC mandated speed control.. However at 22h30 there was not that much traffic, I am sure. Friday night, so perhaps there was a rush....
