Not exactly late touchdowns, but anecdotal evidence suggests that BA flights to LHR use less runway when landings are easterly (and they therefore need to turn about face to reach T5) than when the airport is on westerlies, when they will brake more gently and exit later.

Could be all a scurrilous rumour, of course.
