BA A380 at Gatwick
BA A380 G-XLEB just positioned at Gatwick from Heathrow for overnight parking before departing to Manila at 0500hrs Sunday for heavy maintenance. Apparently no slot at LHR tomorrow for a similar time departure.
The aircraft doesn't always position from/to the UK, it will sometimes operate the LHR-SIN schedule and then fly on to Manila for the check, with the A380 coming off the previous check operating the return SIN-LHR. Of course that only works when two consecutive checks are scheduled.

Yes, there is a very specific time window that the A380 can arrive into MNL. Usually this isn’t an issue when they swap A380s in SIN but as DaveReidUK alluded to, there isn’t one to swap with at the moment.

Night flights at heathrow are restricted. Cargo flights unless carrying livestock and maintenance flights are banned until 06:01 local time.
This will explain why no slot is available from LHR. Slots at 06.01 to 07.00 are quite heavily utilised with departures already.
