Most of the late night Heathrow departures for Aust departed approximately an hour late with the exception of QFA10 and BAW15 were held up by more than 90 mins. The delays were not due to rwy contamination or traffic. I expect it was a run on de-icing trucks

....and a short delay lined up for QFA10 due to a fox on the runway. Apparently it did pause at the holding point line for some time before dashing across (and unfortunately no, it wasn't taxiway FOXTROT )
