Q400's comings & goings

A busy Sunday at BHX for arrivals and departures.

G-FLBD arrived yesterday in full Olympic colours and departed this
morning for Athens.

G-PTHA Q400 was delivered to BHX just after midday in an all white scheme I believe.

In respect of G-PTHA was it ever bought by flybe (and then sold on to Olympic) or is it just part of the leasing arrangement, which sees
G-PTHA/B/C go to Greece and remain with Olympic?

Following on from the above and the previous post, what aircraft do flybe own (Q400's and 195's) and which ones are leased?

Whatever the answers are to the questions in the previous post and this one, it does seem that the flybe management certainly keep their options open when it comes to their fleet.

I notice that BHX has two based 195's scheduled to fly most days during November and they have retimed the early morning Belfast from September, changing it to a 195 so that it can operate 8 sectors if necessary (BHX-BHD-BHX-MXP-BHX-EDI-BHX-GLA-BHX).
