    Heathrow Terminal 2, the oldest at the airport, will shut within the next few years as Terminal 5 comes into use, BAA say

    In November last year, BAA announced that under its £1.5bn Heathrow East plan, Terminal 2 would be knocked down, as would the Queen's Building next door, to be replaced by a new terminal capable of handling 30 million people.

    BAA is still waiting for planning permission for the project, but the latest announcement means that Terminal 2, which opened in 1955, will close whatever the future for the Heathrow East project.

    While this decision to close Terminal 2 is made with a mixture of sadness and nostalgia, it must be remembered that Terminal 2 is Heathrow's first and oldest terminal.
