Amelia, I sit corrected.
The LDY MAN route always confused me. I recall flying with BA Regional (or whatever they used to be called) on a jet, probably an Embraer. Then BA pulled off the route, with Loganair in BA livery taking it over immediately. I know this because I flew MAN to Derry with BA Reg, on a jet, and returned with BA Loganair in a Saab 340 a week later!
Speedbird, I too was wondering where the aircraft were coming from for RE to operate these routes; especially with EI Regional using several of RE's existing fleet.
