I was part of the crew for QF926. We originally were planned off 34L. As we approached B10 to turn right and hold short 34L, Ground gave us the option to depart off 34R if able due to Malaysian at the A6 Hold Point waiting to depart but they had a problem and we may encounter a delay. A QF A330 was behind them. We reworked figures to depart 34R.
Once down at T6 for 34R departure, we encountered another delay as Aeromedical traffic arrived (after which we lined up), then Malaysian departed (34L), the QF A330 was lining up to go also, so we had to be sequenced by Approach (all going via RIC). Tower then cleared a helicopter who had been given a clearance limit of the boat ramp to conduct a visual approach to the helipads. Tower requested Tiger (on final) back at min speed (he was), whilst we waited in the lined up position for the helicopter (no delay) to get on the ground. It all got too tight. Tiger instructed to Go Around. Once chopper on the ground, we departed with a left turn 290° at 500'.
Hope this helps!
Apologies for long winded explanation.
