Very good ! And do I remember that just one BA flight, which I believe was Miami, was operated from T3 even back when BA long haul was over in T4, pre-T5 days ? I seem to recall an article (which frankly I thought unlikely) that said it was done to keep a BA presence on the committee that allocated Heathrow central area stands. Miami was chosen because of its length, it just fits nicely for the daily round trip to be operated by the same aircraft for days on end without the need to position other aircraft to and from the terminal. They used to use some of the "flexible" check-in positions at T3 that could be reassigned to different carriers through the day.
