Air India B747-400 (aog?) @ Lhr

Anyone know why the AI B744 is parked in LHR currently on the southside cargo ramp cul-de-sac?
Unusual to see this here and for such a long time

AI Flight.

If its the VIP flight, then its the one carrying the Indian PM on this tour; UK (1 day) and then NY for the remainder of the week. I read some stuff in the indian press about it.

Apparently it has the callsign Air India 1, ( akin to Air Force 1). Can any ATC guys/gals confirm this??

Thanks.

Has.
