The aircraft is still on the ground in Heathrow about 12.5 hours after landing back.
A listener on frequency reported: "The aircraft was departing from Heathrow's Runway 27R when the engine parameters of the #2 engine became abnormal after V1. The aircraft climbed out on a heading rather than following the SID to which it then went the Ockham VOR to hold. The #2 engine had experienced an un-commanded rollback. The aircraft held for about 80 minutes as it burned off fuel. It landed safely on 27L and followed by fire services to stand 330."
