Headwinds or delays at LHR is my guess.
Hmmmm ..... Yesterday's BA206 departing MIA before VS6 arrived LHR on time, & BA208 after VS6 was only 20 minutes late.
Is it my imagination or are 744 LHR-MIA-LHR flights significantly less punctual than 346?
I suppose VS6 delay may have arisen between on-time push back and take-off.

Well, BAA Heathrow showed the VS006 as diverted earlier today, but there was fog at LHR this morning reportedly causing problems so I'd guess it was that and nothing more sinister / symptomatic of a MIA_LHR problem!

At one stage on the BAA website it was shown as 'Diverted' but the VS website only had it down as a couple of hours late.

I wonder if there was something happening at LHR as a lot of flights seemed to be late this morning and the EI flight from Cork went out over an hour and a quarter late

Are you sure you are not confusing it with the flight on 11 April as reported here

Goodness me! Halifax twice in just over a week. They'll have to put it on the route map soon! [:0]

Still, it explains the 'Diverted' status on the BAA website

That is weird ... now, I don't think I'll be flying MIA-LHR for the third strike [:0]!
