Early bag drop at Heathrow T5

Is it possible to drop my bag early at the First Wing check in at T5? I have a long layover travelling on separate tickets.

Thanks, I had seen this page but I wasn't sure why they mention Emerald for check in, but then only mention BA executive club status for bag drop starting at 5am.

From anecdotes you should be fine with *O status.

I've used it before as BA Silver and Gold, but not as OWE. I think it will be fine, but if they have issues with it, there is a left baggage place at arrivals downstairs.
