For sale: Heathrow Terminal 1, 1 careful owner

Genuine question.

What do you do with a people scanner?

Presume this needs its wiring, software back-end etc. to function properly. Is it just spares and repairs? In which case are they relying on the right person just spotting it?

How big do you think the T1 sign would be if you got it down?

If you are in need of 15km of stainless hand and foot rail systems, 11 luggage reclaim carousels or over 4,000 airport seats, you are in luck.

Retards can't spell kilometre.

Bet they can't pronounce it either....

Is there actually a market for this stuff, other than as scrap? Who is going to be in the market for 5 airbridges?

I think a lot of stuff will be bought for a laugh. Not sure what you would do with some airbridges except as part of some ambitious build on Grand Designs. They will just have to watch out for hop-ons.

What I don't understand is, who actually owns all of it? Surely the border control stuff like iris scanners and the like are owned by the border force so would be crown assets, whereas most other stuff would be owned by the airport itself.

Nope, all owned by HAL.

Those airbridges will be sold on to airports around the world who can't afford to buy them brand new, so expect to see them in Africa or Asia in a few months time being used.
