Happy to share.

Was working abroad (in an EU state), advised by email that the flight I was due to take was cancelled.

Spoke to the airline, who offered a reschedule that didn't work, nothing else offered, said delay was due to 'tehnical reasons' and fell under 'extraordinary circumstances' defence.

Booked another flight and claimed that on travel insurance.

The claim that EUclaim is handling is a combination of a refund of airfare (which has not been made, despite the 7 days rule) and compensation.

BTW, this was not a low cost airline, but an EU legacy airline.
