It's pretty clear from the thread so far that the passengers boarded a flight that was being displayed as the BA3271 07:30 LCY-DUS, with appropriate boarding passes, and were expecting to land there (until they didn't).
I haven't seen any suggestion that there was confusion with the scheduled LCY-EDI flight, which had departed 30 minutes previously and arrived at Edinburgh on time, presumably full of passengers who actually wanted to go to Scotland.
