I believe Flybe are still operating around 7 of the original 28 E145s. They are based at both MAN and BHX. Of the 28 12 were leased and 16 owned by BACON then Flybe. I personally think Flybe Management played a blinder and promptly sold all 16 E145s within a few months (oil prices had still not hit there high then) they were then leased back. Excellent business sense and timing I feel now the E145s would be very difficult to offload.

Whilst down in EXT in Dec I chatted to an Athens Airways crew picking up one of the E145s so I guess a few are going there. Some have already gone to the Ukraine.
