This is how I thought things would end up for Flybe Mrk2, but I am surprised they have gone so soon.

Are there any Flybe aircraft currently stuck in Belfast?

The two Dash8s that where based at BHD are still there.

A very unusual move. For the first time the CAA have been asked to allow a temporary licence, allowing them to restructure and possibly restart flights eventually. Lufthansa and Air France-KLM are looking to buy them too.

Who would have flown them out?  Former Flybe stick jockeys, or private contractor type?

I think Widerĝe came over last week and waited to get authorisation to take them back
The BHX -EXT ones were ex flybe kept on by the administration team.
