Has Stobart now actually taken over the E195 planes from Flybe? There are three E195 at SEN this morning, G-FBEF, EH and EI. Do we know if these are now permanently the SEN allocation?

southside bobby - perhaps the GINFO site needs to be updated? I don't know; only suggesting it MAY be out of date. Depends how recently Stobart acquired these 3 E195s (if indeed they have).
Jethro's lists the three aircraft that Stobart have bought as being G-FBEH, EM & EN so I should imagine that the presence at SEN today of G-FBEH plus EF & EI is purely coincidental.

Stobart have the aircraft on dry lease from FlyBe at the moment.
The 3 that have been bought are still leased to FlyBe and due to be returned in the spring/summer. When this happens then Stobart will take ownership and the aircraft on dry lease are returned. So it is possible that in the interim there will be a few aircraft swaps to cover planned maintenance etc

Curiouser & curiouser...
BEE released their financial update today & stated..... "BEE`s commercial agreement with STK to operate 2 E195`s under a dry lease arrangement from London Southend began during the quarter".
So 2 frames not 3...& no mention by them of a sale of E jets in the streamlining of their fleet.
A search on GINFO for the last 3 mentioned airframes FBEH FBEM FBEN all are quoted as OWNED by Flybe Ltd & just one FBEH is stated as OPERATED by Stobart Air.
No trace of transference of ownership of any BEE E jet in the last 12 months within the UK either in separate listings.
