Now we're into January there's some slack in the LGW schedule (only one MCO flight a day for example) and if the A330 UC refit programme is, as reported, finally getting underway maybe a 747 will be covering for a few weeks.
Always possible - VXLG was originally a LHR based 747 (not that this is relevant really now it's in LGW/MAN leisure config). It will have to be very tactfully deployed route-wise given the low J seat count (under half of a normal LHR based aircraft). It does, however, have close on double the W seating of the A346 / B789 though, so with very careful planning & advance looking at likely loads, VS Ops could avoid annoying too many passengers.
