This is the text of the RNS dated May 2017 announcing the leasing of the first two aircraft. No mention of the lessor here.

Flybe Group PLC ("Flybe") announces that an agreement has been signed with Stobart Air Unlimited (trading as Stobart Air), a subsidiary of Stobart Group Limited ("Stobart"), to provide two Embraer E195 aircraft under a combined commercial arrangement lasting up to 20 months subject to earlier termination options. The two aircraft will be based at London Southend Airport. Flybe will initially operate the aircraft on behalf of Stobart under a crewed "wet lease" arrangement migrating to Stobart operating the aircraft itself no later than 1st January 2018. The aircraft will be operated in Flybe branding under the existing Franchise Agreement between the two companies.

It is the three aircraft that Stobart (in the form of its leasing company Propius) have purchased that will come direct from the leasing company GOAL GmbH. I don't know whether Flybe's lease on these aircraft was expiring or whether it is extinguished as a function of the purchase. And yes it is the aircraft that arrived late that is the first of the three.
