I know A380s are sensitive but this is a bit daft - so did the plane land in London then fly up to Man after a few hours?

I'd be very annoyed at this.
Yes - flew up from LHR after I assume after the issue was sorted and it was refuelled.

The first 2 attempts were on the normal landing runway. On the third attempt, they used the left runway, which is very rarely used for landings when approaching from the NW.
