I really dont understand the CAA on this issue-why is it (apparently) easier to get a permit to fly for a ‘restoration’ of an aircraft that has been dug up (and almost all new build) than it is for the same aircraft that is new and isn’t claimed to be a restoration?
How about an unlimited number of trades, but a limited number of sales?- i realise that this system could be open to abuse, but if anyone makes a lot of money that way, good luck to them as far as i’m concerned!
Flight have reported today that the 4th flight test aircraft has been damaged during production-it was repaired over the w/e but its gonna cause a delay they could’ve done without!
