Whilst waiting to leave Exeter last Wednesday I watched a Dornier 328 taxi past in full FlyBe markings. Does anyone have any more info about this aircraft?
Thanks in anticipation

Well I have heard that at BHX the Dornier will be replacing the Loganair Saab 340 for the Winter period.
It has been used a few times over the past couple of weeks, but at the moment the Saab 340 (G-LGNN) is still the regular aircraft.

Suckling Airways' G-BWWT is / was Norwich based and flies NWI-MAN on behalf of Loganair who also own Suckling Airways who until recently were known as Scot Airways having been originally, er....Suckling Airways.
The whole operation is flown under the flybe brand on the Loganair franchise.
Hope that's clear (!)
Suckling have long performed a range of executive charters for major corporates, football teams, etc. There's actually not a lot of other availability of 30-seat executive-standard aircraft in the UK. So their aircraft can be seen pretty much anywhere around the UK on odd occasions. Some of the fleet used for this work are in plain white livery but they do get swapped around with their airline-branded ones from time to time.
