Hello World!
As you may know, British Midland are re-comencing flights to the U.S. after 18 years.
Does anyone know:

Cheers,
Jamie.

In April 1970 the first 186-seat Boeing 707-321 joined British Midland and were but to work on the New York, Toronto, Caribbean route. I will try to find out more information as to why they stopped.
