At present the government’s specialist Windrush taskforce cannot be used by those who came over as adults after 1973, even if they have lived in the UK for decades and their parents would fit the Windrush criteria.

This is a very important point. Some of those who were not yet 18 upon arrival, but came even as late as 1982 were given indefinite leave to remain. I know of at least one person who was 15 or 16 and came in late 1973, and whose situation has been sorted. Another person who came before that on his mother's passport is having a rough time proving that he did arrive before 1973.
