Having seen about the supposed 18 Q400s which may have a new lease i'd expect those to be the newest Q400s, mainly the ones acquired from Republic, as some of the oldest I wouldn't be surprised to see being stripped for parts or scrapped given how heavily they have been used. The E175s i can see being snapped up for use in America or Canada.
Airsouthwest, the administrators are keeping a small number of flight ops staff employed to keep the AOC running. They have also kept some flybe engineers on to maintain the aircraft until they leave or otherwise.
