The data are there and they don't lie (the database has been proven way too often with even more incredible data to be distrusted). I can't tell however why and where it indicated to be RE231.
I brought this only up because there was a complaint about poor reporting by RTE. It wasn't even though the report turned out to be wrong (and just in case you wonder - I am in Austria as my nick indicates, I have no connection whatsoever to RTE). In the meantime even other aviation sources report, it was EI-REM, probably because of that entry in the databases. That's all I am saying, not less and not more.
