Shorts Belfast at Southend that will apparently be getting an N-registration...
Sorry but I seriously doubt that the Americans will give her a C of A. The type has never been registered there and I don't think even preliminary work towards certification has been undertaken in the past. I can't see Bombardier ( Owners of Shorts) investing much support in the project.
I think her future lies on a register of convenience, albeit one with high enough standards of oversight and inspection to satisfy the Australian authorities.
Does anyone KNOW who holds the design authority for the Belfast these days?
Be lucky
David
