I was fortunate enough to spend some quality time with this the last Shorts Belfast capable of flight, and its owner recently. The aircraft is undergoing an extensive overhaul process. Much of the work internally is the focus, with the 6 onboard generators now completed and the flight deck overhaul halfway done. The goal is to return 'Hector' to the skies for oversized freight haulage in about 2 years.
