Almost the first outing for FlyBe's rebranded new livery. It was repainted at East Midlands Airport (EMA) last week and ferried to FlyBe's main base at Exeter two days ago (1st April was a good choice of date...).  It was given a water-cannon salute by the Airport Fire Service on arrival at Manchester today.

It's VERY purple and the slogan on the engines seems a bit lame.  In order to vary it, perhaps they should consider also painting some with yellow as the main colour and some with red as the main colour.
