I think the largest aircraft in use there is a barby jet?
On the other hand Terminal 1 looks like a really professional Terminal with good facilites.
Eurohub got a lot less busy after Duo went bust - and it's not the few Eastern Airways flights that will make up for the lost rotations. Also, due to lack of space and convoluted passenger arrival/departure procedures, short turnarounds times are simply NOT possible at T2. Also, it's still managed by BA who, of course, are both judge and jury when it comes to allocating stands/lounges etc. The apron looks like a building site, because IT IS! There is work being done at ground level. The largest aircraft to use it are actually KLM 737-800s/900s.
