There are other sources as well that say G-BEPS is to be restored to flying condition to join the other one already flying. It had been used as a spares donor
That though is more or a restoration...the Canadair had been stored as flying except they had to shut an engine down after the last flight.
Seems like something else has cropped up.

Chris, yes I know RP-C is Philippines reg I live there, what I was hoping to find out is why, the link below is to a thread in the Philippine Flight Sim Group of which I am a member asking the same question of why RP-C reg regarding a Short Belfast queried in that thread,
The Phillipines are not customarily seen as a Flag of Convenience country, but it's possible that it was done for taxation operating advantage instead of convenience. While Australian registration prevents them from operating into certain countries (political issues), the Phillipine registration doesn't. It's kind of like US Registrations making it very difficult to get into some SE Asian countries unless the aircraft is flagged for and leased by a company operating in a country that allows operations in the desired country.
The other possibility as well is that the aircraft are owned by a bank in the Phillipines and that requires a Phillipino registration even though they're operated by a Australian company. Mexicana is a good example of this. The loan on all of their Airbuses is owned by a US Bank and part of the loan required the aircraft to be US registered.
Im the photographer of the photo originally posted, and I've now heared that she has been grounded by both the airport and the caa.
She's not had any activity within the last few weeks, everythings gone awful quiet. She (I believe) has to move shortly to somewhere else on the airfield.
