Sorry, Malone, if you take exception to my criticism of BA or perhaps to it's being in a thread related to T5.
BA was the motive force behind the design and implementation of T5 and are its main user. They are primarily responsible for the way it works, or didn't, at the beginning, and blaming BAA is a poor excuse as BAA were in a sense a subcontractor to BA, who called the shots.
T5, nice building, but if it didn't do the job because of poor staffing and lack of planning, then it's as useless as an Aston Martin (substitute whatever car you like!) with a flat battery. Looks nice but doesn't do the job.
That's off my chest, time for tea and toast.

Reason: changed 'doesn't' to 'didn't' in para 3
