FAA or CAA register?

SASless. From the owners website www.huey.co.uk he is targetting this to be CAA-registered as G-UHIH ("adapted" as UH1H for effect on the site, I see!) - but on checking the CAA register site, that is not yet current. Over in FAA land, they still have the aircraft as N41574.

So, is this going to be operated on the airshow circuit on the N register, and are there any problems with that? Does it "just" need a display rating, or are the hurdles more numerous operating on the N register?

By my reckoning, we are very close to 100 non-G reg helicopters based in the UK now... And given the CAA's increasing vigilance in this area (mutters of lost revenue...) there are some people in the fixed wing fraternity already frightened off and putting their trusty steeds onto the CAA register.
