Nor was I! It may have done the rounds in the local Essex Press and possibly the Flight Intl Mag,
I was just starting my Aviation career in 1971/72 and both SEN and STN were close to my home, but I never recall hearing about
the new name....
I do recall Channel wanting Transatlantic Licences (which I think they got from the B of T) and they were in talks with CO in the USA to obtain some of their secondhand 707's but the Company folded soon after.
