Flybe press trip

I’ve finally flown for the first time with England’s major airline, well after BA, EasyJet, Virgin, et al - Flybe! We had to wait at London City airport while an engineer checked one of the tyres wasn’t bald, doesn’t sound like they keep a spare in the back.
Luckily all was well and we had a leisurely flight along the south coast to Exeter. Who needs to go round the world?!
