This is really well researched video. I really like the way you have made this in the style of a report, charting the history and detail about the airline and aircraft. Really clear narration and the way you have made so much effort to credit your footage is a very professional and mature approach. I have really enjoyed this. Well done 👏
This video almost brought a tear in my eye. I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a relatively small country in the Balkans. I am mentioning this, because, believe it or not, BMI baby also holds a special place in my heart. It was 2006 and I was finishing 6th grade. Because I was a good student, my parents decided to suprise me with a gift for my achievents: They bought me a new computer with a pre-installed Flight Simulator X together with the Traffic X package in it. I was thrilled and immediately sat down to play it. At first, I played various missions, but I eventually completed those and wanted to try out something new. I began to play "free flying" more and more and I began to notice a lot of different aircraft and airlines. But your video brought up a memory which was still stored somewhere in my subconcious but couldn't be accessed: The very first airport from which I took-off from and extensively flew around was indeed BHX, and you guessed it, there were a lot of Thompson and BMI aircraft. The most interesting from them all was BMI baby since the 735 is a sort of short plane in comoarison to the longer versions. When I noticed the character on the tail, I quickly called my parents to show it how cute it looked like. This happened in the first few days of playing FSX, which would later pave the way for my passion for aviation. I want to thank you for unlocking this memory I have which was apparently deeply rooted in my mind all these years. You earned a BIG like and sub from me!
I was cabin crew on the last flight from BHX. Just before the final flight. Sadly I have never found footage of my flight, something that I would love to watch more than anything. Even some photos of our water canon salute. If you do have any footage then I would absolutely love to see it. Thank you, Jake
Gosh that was really sad. I worded for British Midland for around 20 years. Both mainline and baby were a family, I look back with great fondness my time at Leeds, Donington Hall and Heathrow were the best and happiest days of my working career, I'll never forget them or the wonderful people I worked with,
Damn, I miss BMIbaby😢 I remember as a kid watching them fly over our house, Im 19 now, I was probably around 5 when I saw these fly, We need them back!😩 One love BMIbaby❤️

Thank you for your kind words and excellent footage!
It’s really helped to give BMI Baby the tribute they deserve.

Only flew on the main airline, British Midland bmi and it was wonderful till it lasted in 2012. They had one the best livery at the time.
