like i said, you need to know the a/c rego and its rotation.
some a/c will fly through to LHR, some will fly to singapore then to other ports or return to australia.
in a day qf could send 2 to LHR from syd and 1 from melb, though that is subject to change. its almost impossible to answer, as all the schedules are subject to change.

NO NO NO, tell me how many they would use a day, firstly start the LHR Services!!!! from SYD-LHR only!!!

QF does mel-sin-lhr daily
QF syd-bkk-lhr daily
QF syd-sin-lhr varies
so it’s actually 3 flights per day at some stages.

With the London Heathrow services, Qantas does operate codeshare flights with British Airways, so are some of the Qantas flights not being flown with BA aircraft.

i would say of the 31 QF has in service that a fair whack would be used daily.
all the EU services are 744, thats 2 from syd-lhr then the daily mel-lhr service, so at anytime u could have 3 744s at LHR
1xdaily to fra
3xperweek to cdg
then we have the 4xweek from per-sin, daily from bri-sin, then the daily syd-sin services.
then you have the daily 744 to nrt from syd which has just started, the daily 744 to HKG.
then the syd-jobrug flights which are daily atm due to worldcup, then you go into the us market, 4xdaily from syd-lax, and once daily from melb-lax, so you could have 5 in LA at any one time.
you have to know the a/c rotation, sometimes the QF a/c from perth go on to CDG or turn around and go back to east coast australia.
very hard to say exact unless you know the a/c rego and its rotation.
