Well from my posting of the arrival of a certain FlyBe Dash 8, G-ECOE, at NWI last week for respray back to FlyBe colours, a certain forum mod ‘Deano’ 🙂 hoped he was going to collect said aircraft from Norwich and transport it to Exeter ! As the whole event seemed to be at least 24hrs late ! things may have changed ?? I was there to record the happy event ! Perhaps Deano would like to comment !!! 😉
Apres’ Spray Bay.
Towards 09 and turning !
And off to Exeter ??
Would like to tack this photo on as I have, patiently waited, for this aircraft to appear in my lens for some time ! and on this historic FlyBe day at NWI it sneaked in for a visit !

Hi Keith
Good catch mate, you are correct, the flight was delayed 24hrs because the respray was a day behind, it took off from NWI last night at 19:30 and arrived into EXT at 20:45, so no it didn’t go to LGW first.
I wasn’t on board unfortunately, I was rostered to do the flight on Tuesday but had the duty changed to a different trip because of this.
For yesterday’s flight we were so short of crews in Exeter we had to gather a crew from somewhere else, on board was a crew from Edinburgh to do the ferry flight across. They called me and asked me to work my day off but I had pre-arrangements and couldn’t do it.
G-JEDP was in from Manchester.
Hope this helps
Dean

Thank you ! Umph ! It seems, from the local spotters forum, that it may have gone from Norwich to Gatwick ??
Need to Know Deano ??? 😀
