don't know about that...

They're building T5 which is opening next year. I don't think it's built out of mud and straw; although it doesn't look as nice as that new airport in China that Foster designed.

Once T5 is open they're going to knock down T2, move those flights to T1 and move all BA flights from T1 to T5. I hope that makes sense

Right you are. Ferrovial just took over the bond obligations (read: debt). That was one of the conditions of the sale. They are in no more condition to improve the traveller experience at LHR than I am to purchase a first class ticket on BA.
