What would stop an oven overheating and catching light to surrounding trim if it were left on? I am guessing an oven element left on for a full crew rest period could catch before a cb popped, especially if in-flight has been left in said oven too.

Bit of a silly idea leaving power attached if that's whats happened, my undstanding was that most stands used by the internationals at lhr have integrated power at the ramp. Rather than a gpu.

I have a feeling this is systems unrelated. I'm also guessing Boeing are relieved this happened on a Friday as if it had been a weekday, there wouldn't have been the time to do a full investigation prior to press releases we can expect late tomorrow or early Monday prior to the markets re-opening.
