Speaking as an only slightly technical and knowledgeable person, my response is to suggest that you ask the CAA. I recommend making sure that their advice is written, and preserving it carefully, even if only to confirm a conversation.
Is there a reason for doing it via Pprune instead?
In the CAA's brave new and re-organised world, I can offer the following names (lifted from the chart) you should ask for when you ring the Belgrano;
GA Manager Airworthiness
Graham Rourke
GA Surveyor Airworthiness
Nigel Rockhill
Mal Jorgensen
GA Surveyor Certification & Design
Tony Love
Mike Poole
1 x Vacancy
When you have learned all they know, you could apply for the vacancy!
Until fairly recently, you could have gone to the nearest regional office, and asked to see an airworthiness Surveyor, preferably by appointment. But as they all get closed down that option may not be feasible.
By the way, the chart is marked "confidential for internal use only", so now you have read this far I'm afraid I've got to shoot you. Everyone else, please note that you may not read the information provided above, or I'll have to shoot you as well.
