The 600€ issue is contentious in long-to-short connections, plus FlyBe are incredibly difficult to extract EC261 from anyway. So that is destined for the 250€ compensation anyway since the operating carrier is FlyBe and they will see this as purely a LHR-EDI service. If taken to court then who knows, but common sense suggests a judge wouldn't see the logic in pinging FlyBe for a trip for which they were not the operating carrier.
