Gatwick red route parking fine

Hello, looking for some help and advice as I received a NCP parking fine for allegedly stopping on the Red route in Gatwick. I recall being lost and unavoidably driving through the north terminal drop off zone and did pay the £7 drop off see. So really shocked to receive a letter. The photographic evidence times on the photos show I was stationary for a maximum of 5 seconds. Quite unbelievable. I seem to recall I may have accidentally stalled driving slowly trying to work out where to go! 

Is there any chance of winning an appeal, 5 seconds stop seems crazy to have received a parking fine! 

Any help, suggestions, appreciated, 

Thank you.

    Do not appeal as driver 

    Do not discuss the case 

    Study the Heathrow Gatwick Manchester Airports group thread and appeal as keeper based on no keeper liability due to schedule 4 of POFA2012  not applying at airports, not relevant land etc

    No blabbing about who was driving or about what happened,  but mention that,  the driver stalled the vehicle
