Yes and Aurigney is acquiring one of our soon to be "ex" 195s, too (apparently).
This may be a reference to the fact that Aurigny apparently plans to operate a 195 in the interim between Flybe's dropping the route in March and their own acquisition in June:

Mr Darby said: "There will be a short gap between when Flybe abandon the route and when we take over. We need a gap because we need to retrain a lot of our crew.

"We'll fill the gap with what's called a wet lease, so we'll bring in another jet aircraft, hopefully something similar to the one we're going to buy, for two or three months."
So perhaps, as has been speculated previously, one of the ex-Flybe aircraft will simply be leased to Aurigny in the interim.
