Im 90% sure that it will be a Dash on the DUS BE already have good engineering support for the Dash. Maybe a e195 when the base is established heard rumours of EDI and MAN routes from LGW anybody hear that?

Putting a dummy booking into the engine until you get to the point where the seating map appears shows LGW-DUS to be a Q400 route.
Besides which, they still have loads of new Q400's to come over the next few months, but no obviously spare E195's.

Originally one E195 was planned to be based in GCI but due to the runway limitations an extra Q400 was based there instead, so what happened to this essentially "spare" E195? Could this 'spare' a/c be based in LGW?

The GCI issue arose nearly a year ago when they were planning to retire the last 146's in October 2008. Presumably that E195 was reallocated many months ago.
As I said before, the booking engine is loaded with a Q400 seat map. Surely that confirms that Flybe intend to use that type on the route, and ends the discussion on this particular topic.

Was looking at booking a Flight from INV - LGW within the next week or two and noticed that it shows a Dash Q400 on a weekday flight are they getting downgraded from the 195 at INV ?

Looking at the website looks as if the afternoon sectors have been downgraded to the dash but only on certain days as far as can see the main later flights are still on the e195 looks like flybe are reacting to the current climate with the dash needing to sell less seats to break even...smart business if you ask me.

195 utilisation
At times there is a spare 195 and it usually sits on the 20's at BHX.
Although during the last week or two it has not always been around but
for a few days last week ACARSD was showing no movements for "EA"
or "EJ".
Also the 195 utilisation at bhx has further decreased with a swift ending
of double daily flights to Milan MXP. It now operates daily with the
weekday flight departing BHX at 09.40 basically leaving no time to do
a flight beforehand without re-timing one of the early morning outbounds.
Some days the 195's operate just 4 sectors.
Also cut is the midday Q400 BHX - STR.
You need not to look any further than the CAA stats to see why
both of these routes have been reduced.
The other thing of course both destinations were 145 routes last
summer and there is still a net seat gain. Sensible move if you ask
me although the flight timings could be better but this might be due
to slot restrictions down route due to the late change.

At the end of the press release about the new Gatwick - Dusseldorf route was this statement.
"we have big plans to grow further in Germany"
Anyone have any suggestions as to what new routes these plans involve?

Could there be a link up with Luftansa? is flybe going to take BMIR and then feed into DUS?
Different business model, different fleet and similar routes. They do not really need another Bacon integration if there is no cash incentive.
