I did this last year, after a KLM UK flight into Humberside came in, and the flaps were stuck in landing config. Ensuing 3 hour delay while another aircraft came in from Scotland meant that I missed me connection to Madrid, and therefore my meeting.
I put a claim in wihth KLM, who bounced it, so quoting the relevant case law, sent it off to EUClaim.com, and the airline paid out the 250 euro compensation.
