F24 cameras were used by Bomber Command for assessment of bombing accuracy. The image size is 5" x 5" & capable of up to 250 exposures on the film. Thanks for another interesting video Neville!

Hello Neville . Another incredible look at the complexity of the Lancaster. It's a sobering thought to remember the expected life of these weapons of war and of course the brave men who flew the Lancaster. Thankyou once again Neville

Thanks for another great update Neville. Good to see the lancaster camera close up and also where it is situated in the aircraft. Such a vital piece of equipment during the flights. Chris didn't do a bad job videoing the inside of the nose section did he. Him and Gerald have done an amazing job fitting it out. Good to see the other guys hard at it as well. All of them are doing such a fantastic job and are a credit to this restoration and also to the museum. Well done to them all. Thank you as well Neville for all the time and effort you put into these updates every week and in doing so allowing us all to follow the restoration as it moves along. Looking forward to your next update. Best wishes to you mate and all the guys at the museum.👍

Thanks Andy.

I visited Lanc NX611 on Nov 11th for the first time and I was blown away but the realism and intimisy of the museum. We are so looking forward to coming back. On Nov 11th the Lanc was all in one piece just starting her journey for the winter. What really struck myself and my wife was all the stories around the hanger of the 18-24 year olds flying these incredible machines, Our sons are now this age and we cannot think of them in this position.. Furthermore, my wife's father flex Beaufort's for 22 Squadron in WWII and Avro York for Mount Batten in APAC. These videos are absolutely priceless and incredible documentary of the restoration process. I'm blown away by the dedication of team and effort required. Thank you Neville for bringing this to life.

Again Nev thankyou so much for another cracking video,it would be great if the camera could be made to work so as the Lanc flies over the airfield it could take shots to which they could sell...just an idea maybe for fund raising.Chrises joke "chicken legs" made me laugh. I love the stencils made for your coffee.Many thanks once again Nev. Take care mate.

I think the camera which was being fitted uses B&W roll film and produced 8" X10^ negatives. The 8^ wide roll film would be in a magazine which was at the top, when the camera was mounted.in the plane When the the film was processed it would the be contact printed to make 10 X 8 prints which would be studied by P I's ( photo intelligence officers ) to see if they had hit the target. This was very important for the crews as no picture meant that trip didn't count towards their tour count, it was also vital to see if they had hit the target. and don enough damage to it.t, If they had missed, they would nave to do it again. this was a way of preventing crews from dumping there bombes any were and to improve accuracy.

Another great video Nev, thank you. Saw the length of this one so made a cup of tea before I pressed play! Quick question: seeing the wheel and brake components made me wonder what spec they are going to be when airworthy. Believe BBMF use Lincoln legs and Shackleton wheels, tyres, brakes etc Will Jane have the same spec when airworthy or sticking to pure Lancaster?

@andrewpanton1311

5 ай бұрын

BBMF have the same spec as NX611. Lanc legs, lanc wheels and lanc brakes. The legs and wheels were also used on Lincoln. The wheels were also then used on Shackleton but with larger brake units and different legs.

@@andrewpanton1311 Thanks very much for the reply, much appreciated. I've previously been told (not by anyone at EK) that Lincoln legs were slightly different and could handle shear loads a little better, hence why they were fitted to '474. Thanks for clearing that up.

@WrightCycloneR1820 they came in with the Lanc as their AUW increased so its not altogether incorrect, it's just they predated Lincoln.

Hi Andy, Andrew gave you the answer. I have found out they were painted Yellow when fitted back in the 1940s

Do you have a video explaining the mission markings under the pilot port side window ? Some of the bomb symbols are red, I see two “ice cream cones”, a skeleton key, and so on. All the discussion of installing equipment in the French nose - to whom does that belong ? Does Just Jane have its own set ? Did the French keep their equipment in Paris awaiting the return of the structural pieces to assemble their final display example ?

@nevillewheeldon1693

Late with the answer again HH, the bomb symbols I covered in a video . All the equipment fitted into the French Nose came out of Just Jane and will go back into Jane when refitted. Not sure what the French have in this line.
