What do they build at Shorts? Obviously components for Bombardier, but which ones?

Shame to see more aerospace experience fizzling away from this country.

Fuselages and Nacelles mostly I believe. That BBC report shows a line of what I think are Learjet 45 or 55 fuselages.

This production cut will result in even higher numbers of job losses in Montreal..... I think Bombardier said 1,400.
