I have noticed quite a few Dash8 Q400’s coming into LGW in the last couple of days, which is rare because we usually have the BAe 146’s…
Is this a sign that BE are preparing to get rid of their 146’s, and replacing them with Q400’s, or are the 146’s operating from somewhere else now!?
Does anyone know if BE ever intends on using E195’s to/from LGW at all in the future as I have never seen one of these aircraft before?

Hey Jon,
As said above about the E195s. There will begin flying to LGW in october.

I am sure the IOM service was going to Q400, it may already have done so which would explain the sightings if the Q400.
Indeed LGW-IOM is already operated by Q400.
G-JEDI did the afternoon and evening services yesterday!

BHD is all 146, apart from the BEE967/968.

The 146’s are being replaced by 195’s. although there have delivery problems which is slowing this down.
I am sure the IOM service was going to Q400, it may already have done so which would explain the sightings if the Q400.
INV I am sure is to get a 195 for their LGW’s
JER/LGW goes to the 195 from the start of the winter timetable when the service increases to 6 daily. According to their website JER is to get the newest one which I am sure is G-FBEF
Not sure about GCI or BHD.
