Anyone know why this flight has been diverted to Gatwick tonight?

Would be interested in this one too, it was met by fire crew after landing due to the heavy weight landing.

Dunno, but the aircraft in question isn't going anywhere. Pax departed LGW 15 minutes ago on a substitute B752.

The aircraft had an autopilot flight control computer fault once in the air. The nearest spare was located at LHR so the aircraft diverted to LGW for it to be replaced.
