Interesting aircraft - what have you seen on your computer today?
It's quite possible that it was never planned to go to LCY - BA7032 is an ad-hoc flight number used on at least 8 different routeings so far this year.
Still on the ground as of 11.15am, not far from the BA A319 that is apparently off to the scrappers today. Hopefully it will live on in parts rather than coke cans!

I noticed it too; although I didn't click on it, Keevil certainly close to where it was operating.

Heard a buzzy/drony noise but didnt see anything overhead a few minutes ago.
FR24 shows G-AEDU DH90A Dragonfly heading SE towards Reading at 108 kts.
And G-ARMG DHC-1 Chipmunk allegedly buzzing around overhead at 475 ft?

6x Super Tucanos due into Prestwick pm today, on delivery flight to Nigeria from USA. Believed to be nightstopping at PIK before going onto Spain and beyond. Should have support aircraft Do 328. D-CAAN with them and at present only this is visible on tracking sites!

Just had a visit from Puma XW216 which my old mil log tells me I saw at Middle Wallop in July '79 - AAC open day. Don't often see 'em round here. Another helicopter audible in the vicinity which didn't show up - not a Dauphin (maybe a 109 or a Squirrel) so I presume just a civvy without ADSB and not them hard nuts from Herefordshire.
First six of a total order of 12, originally blocked by the Obama administration after the Nigerian AF bombed a refugee camp. Subsequently approved by Trump.

Funnily enough I was on my way back from brekkers in SE London (Selsdon), taking the scenic route through some woods. Is that faint deep drone an aircraft? Is it a Transall? No, it was the Atlantique overhead Wembley and heading NE. So indeed a pair of Tynes. Lug 'oles are still working well!
I'm having probs with ADSB Exchange on my laptop, just showing 53 returns mid Atlantic. Phone working ok... I've emptied cache etc...
Edit: all working suddenly.
