The UK Home Office page cited by @JohnDoe in his comment to the original question contains language that provides an exemption from the visa requirement for those who hold a valid D-visa, such as the OP. Do you think this UK page is inapplicable to the OP?

@André: The OP writes "the UK (London)". The bit about "London (LHR) or Manchester (MAN)" is in a quotation from Timatic -- not the OP's own wording. The OP apparently thought that (s)he was covered by the "London (LHR)" wording, but according to this answer, (s)he was mistaken about that. (Probably the OP simply didn't realize that "London (LHR)" refers to just one of the several airports serving London, and that his/her own flight was through a different one.)

@André They never mentioned which airport they were flying to at all. They do mention the airline and destination city, and the only airport that airline flies to in that city is LGW. The airline doesn’t fly to the airport the Timatic extract quoted relates to, making it irrelevant to the itinerary. The whole point is that the question is based on a false premise.

this answer is totally and utterly wrong. The UK transit without visa rules make no distinction as to whether a Turkish citizen will pass UK border control or not in order to avail themselves of it, as long as they hold an EU/EEA residence permit (or the other qualifying conditions).

This answer is incorrect. This isn't surprising because the TIMATIC text is incorrect. Presumably TIMATIC is consistent and either includes this text for Gatwick or claims that TWOV is unavailable at Gatwick, that that is wrong. The UK's TWOV facility allows beneficiaries to clear passport control; the statement that they must "remain in the international transit area" may form the basis of a claim by the airline against TIMATIC to cover the cost of reimbursing the passenger.
