Just nosing about on flightradar and noticed yesterdays VS15 was over 2 hrs late leaving Gatwick. Was VBIG, so can only presume was a technical challenge. Finally left at 3:20pm.

Any idea what delayed it?

the VS source website might have info but delays are caused by numerous issues nt just technical.

Even a non 'challenge' tech issue can take a while to fix as it is checked and the paperwork completed that says part A was replaced with B with a serial number of C carried out by person D and checked by E and pilot F

+ weather
+ delayed inbound
+ delayed crew
+ airport restrictions - both at LGW and MCO - if there is an issue at MCO they won't let it leave LGW until it's resolved
+ delayed passengers
+ problems loading bags / cargo / catering
+ passenger boards then decides to not fly so the bags have to be found etc
+ ATC
