New FlyBe

[captainbob]

G-PRPD has just landed at Eastleigh.  FR24 and the Southampton 'Arrivals'  had it as G-ECOP, but I understand that the 'hex-code' gave it away!


I don't do far-off dots, hex-codes, nav-lights, or any of the other strange habits that others have, but

anyone seeing this, as it flew overhead from Manchester, can rest assured that G-PRPD it was.  One of the

locals in Eastleigh read it, and noted that it is yet to be painted in FlyBe colours.

Ah!  for you Jeff, it's a United Express Dash 8, not FlyBe!! ;-))

. . and it's back in again, so may night-stop.

Its actually ex Republic Airways N332NG which was re registered as G-PRPD on 13/11/15 of course it flew in United Express colours, perhaps thats where your getting confused

Thanks for the update on G-PRPD realised it had been delivered to Exeter but was uncertain as to whether or not it was in service yet. Cleared up now.

Came in from Manchester yesterday, then did a Dublin and back.  Still at Eastleigh at 12.30 today.  It hasn't been painted in FlyBe colours yet,
so I guess will disappear for a few days soon.
