I think it's replacing the AirTanker A330, which was planned as cover for the delayed delivery of G-TUIP. Apparently the AirTanker aircraft is now required by the RAF.
Obviously 787/A330 to A321 is quite a capacity drop, so I assume they've been juggling the schedule of the remaining three short haul widebodies at MAN to match demand.
