The writer has got his/her facts seriously wrong and hasn't got much credibility. Heathrow is older than 20 years old (perhaps the reference was to Terminal 4) and wasn't built to replace Gatwick (Croydon perhaps). LHR (T1-3 and the Queen's Terminal) has been there as least in the '60s (when I first flew in there).
