Flightradar24 track indicates that BA2276 stopped approx 600 metres / 1800 ft from the start of the take-off run. Wonder what that suggests in terms of when the engine failure happened, and what speed the airplane reached?

EDIT: I found the speed/alt information graph for the flight, indicating that the airplane accelerated to a top speed of approx 78 kts at 23:12 UTC, before coming to a stop at 23:13.

The track suggests a rolling take-off, as the speed stays above 0 starting from 23:03, and is approx 20 kts just before the take-off run.

Don't know how accurate FR24 is at these low speeds, though.
