Guilty as charged to the error in the IATA code I typed , (I'm blaming a senior moment plus domestic distractions) but because of the sources I was looking at ( FWIW I was looking also looking data tied to the flight number, not just the airport ) I'm absolutely certain that made no difference to the timing info.

FWIW returning to the subject of that particular flight it looks like it arrived at Gatwick 1 hr 10 min late..hopefully dixi188's daughter was OK.

As far as I understand BA outsources its I.T. to IAG. Not sure if that helps with the answer but from my own personal experience the bigger the Company the worse it gets. A good example of this is GDPR regs (privacy) where the I.T. top brass decide data cannot be sent electronically so Airlines just send it the good old fashioned way taking ten times as long.
In my gaff the I.T. guys on the shop floor are great. The big picture though is SHI.T.
