LHR-MSY took of as typical, then dumped and returned to LHR. Now, it's back in the air again, about a half day later.
Original ship was 788 G-ZBJB
Current ship is 789 G-ZBKF

Anyone know the case for the return and switch? And why the fuel dump (according to Twitter) for a flight that wouldn't be carrying that much fuel to begin with?

Re: What's going on with BA225 (fuel dump and return to LHR)
From TheBASource.com:
British Airways Boeing 787-8 G-ZBJB operating BA225 London Heathrow – New Orleans stopped the climb at 9,000 ft this afternoon due to a windscreen crack, flew circuits between Luton and Milton Keynes to burn fuel then returned to London Heathrow for a safe landing.
..
And:
Following the earlier technical return of BA225 London Heathrow – New Orleans to London Heathrow, the delayed BA225/BA224 London Heathrow – New Orleans was subsequently operated this evening by Boeing 787-9 G-ZBKF.
