Denim
jabird
As CaptainDoony has stated the Denim has been in and out for about three months covering the IOM incident and the WDL 146 today I trust was covering the Rennes incident.
At other times the BHX spare 195 covers one of the Q400's but this is not always possible. The Denim has been used on IOM, ABZ, WAT, INV, and EDI to name but a few.
The WDL was on the 175 GLA flight tonight with the 175 going on the ABZ.
The Denim tonight was used for Hanover.

Gatwick/Tail-strike
"CI" seems to be back in service now at BHX since 1/9/12 - I believe this was the tail-strike aircraft, so it was out for just over a week.
Gatwick
From the Aberdeen thread it is indicated that LGW-ABZ will cease after summer and aircraft placed on BHX-ABZ. LGW-ABZ is zeroed out already by the look of it and do we know if the 175 will be BHX based or remain in Aberdeen with timetable changes put in place?
I am not sure if it has been mentioned before or standard practice for winter but BHD-LGW is showing four daily for winter compared to the five daily in the week during summer.
The flight that has disappeared matches the schedule for the re-timed BHD-BHX BE405, which was a BHX based 175/195 and is now a BHD based 195.
BHX-INV also now showing in winter, as an Inverness based Q400 despite BHX's Q400's virtually doing nothing in the day other than the four a week WAT.
I did a rough calculation a week or two ago for the first week in November and it showed 62 aircraft required to operate the schedule with a fleet total of 65-68 depending on 175 deliveries and "CH" flying again but things seem to fluid to say the least.

The 5th rotation on BHD to LGW was operated by a dash daily. Although bhd is getting a 3rd 195 for the winter apparently, so will prob be op by that aircraft if it is bhd based. Apparently it's coming from SOU.

EDI

Could it be the next 175 that is due and expected to operate EDI-SOU from 1/10/2012?
This would free-up another Q400 and as I have posted on the BHX thread, the 175 transferring from ABZ-LGW to ABZ-BHX will free up another.
Manchester is mentioned on the list as losing another, is this the Brussels Q400, as that is next week and I haven't noticed any other changes?
SOE on another thread has mentioned INV-LGW moving to a Q400 although it is still showing as the 175 in the booking engine yesterday.
Artic Monkey Does Exeter have three based aircraft at present, as two seems sufficient this winter?

Yes there's 3 based aircraft, 2 x Q400 and 1 x E195. There's also 1 x Q400 in NQY which is crewed by the EXT crew. This obviously leaves 1 x Q400 in EXT for the winter but apparently they are not losing any routes so I assume they are being flown by "through" flights from other bases.
