Thank you for the update Neville, a lot of progress since the last video. Nice to see the wing in the jig and being worked on.

I love the sound of windy drills in the morning! Another great video - having done a tour on 431MU carrying out major structural repairs at the beginning of the 80s I would love to be involved, but unfortunately I live nearly 500 miles too far north to do so. I will, however, have a look in at East Kirkby the next time I'm 'down south'.

Another great update as always bro, funny how some think the outer skin is only to keep the wind out. Safe travels. Ken.

One of the wonderful aspects of the videos over the years is your ability to solicit patient explanations of the design, materials, and construction techniques that greatly enhances understanding, retention, and enjoyment. Makes your collection even more important from a historical record perspective. Thank you.

Hi Neville, another great video detailing progress of restoration. Hope the centre is aware that your YT vlogs are increasing their profile and quite probably their revenue streams allowing the project to progress at pace!!!

I get other people who have been to East Kirkby post videos on my feed, and just mention Neville's channel. It all helps.

It always amazes me as to how much work is involved in aircraft restoration and with the Lancaster it’s vast, it must be so hard not to loose faith when you see a wall of rivets that need drilling out!! An incredible team working on Just Jane and we on the outside are all made to feel part of it due to your videos, many thanks Neville.

This is proper stuff. Much appreciated this type of content. I hope all of Mr Neville's content is being properly archived for future generations view. This is type of documentation is both educational and historical. As a Licensed Aircraft Engineer I certainly can appreciate this detailed information. Great stuff.

Neville. you are doing a fantastic job in recording the work of a great team of engineers. Makes you think about the effort that was put in during the war - whether it was intiial factory production or battle damage repair. Thank you for all your work and commitment to recording this restoration programme.

Thanks for the update Neville. The guys have been really busy again. Such wonderful workmanship. What a fantastic team they are. Good to see Janes port wing in the jig and being worked on. The rear fuselage looks amazing now. "The middle one looks a bit wonky." 😂 Very funny. Also "Why did you drill there." " Because I felt like it." 😂. Great stuff. Thank you Neville for all your time and effort you put into these updates each week recording the restoration as it moves forward. Best wishes to you mate and to everybody at the centre. Take care.👍

Great update Neville thank you. Sorry we missed you on our visit to East Kirkby on Thursday. It was the first time in 30 years since our previous visit. We were then lucky enough to meet the late Fred Panton who then told us of the coming of Just Jane and his and Harold desire to see the aircraft one day becoming airworthy. Having had the opportunity to speak to Dave and Phil on Thursday one can see Fred's words eventually coming to fruition. Great work by all, very inspiring.

That's ONE big puzzle there Neville! Thanks for the update. I hope that you put all of these episodes together and make a movie for their work and accomplishments! When will this immense undertaking be done again?

Although the Lancaster was a bringer of death she was a beautiful aircraft

I hope the people at the relevant offices get to see these great videos.

Great video, as ever, Neville...grand to see Jacob being mentored by 2 Master Craftsmen!

Another excellent video Neville! Also excellent progress on the restoration!!

Enjoyed your video update Neville , great to see the guys have started on the wing .

Nev to John ‘So why did you start drilling by there?’ (Nev asking on our behalf half expecting some fascinating engineering based response) John to Nev ‘ because I felt like it ...’ 😂 This had me laughing. I also admit to being in the I thought the panels only really kept the wind out and improved airflow camp, so to discover they contribute 30% of the strength was an eye-opener. Absolutely great stuff Nev, please keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

John is my Brother and his answer to Nev even made me laugh out loud .🤣

Bit of humour now and then helps alot. Tell Phil we`ve moved on from standard an super 8 film! 😆

I always knew our John had a good sense of humour but when asked why he started where he did and him to answer "coz I felt like it" was a corker 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Keep up your good work with the video's Neville 😁

Thanks for the update Nev

Thanks again Neville. Another great update, appreciate your efforts. :-)

Hi Neville, as always I enjoyed very much your recordings, they're getting better and better each week. Your tech talks with the guys is always interesting about the work they do on the Lancaster. Greetings from the Netherlands.

This is some heavy maintenance, at least a D-check. Great to see the skills and knowledge in action.

Many thanks once again Nev for all of your hard work bringing us these vidoes what would we do without you. OMG the lads have got their work cut out on this wing,looking at it you can now see why it will take a long time to bring it up to airworthy condition.Take care mate and thanks again.

Another breathtaking video showing the skill and thousands of man hours required to make this wing airworthy . It's revealing to compare the safety precautions the "old hands " take compared to young Jacob. That's how it was in days gone by . Thankfully health and safety prevails in t9days world .Thanks Neville

@2:53 Oh my ha ha ha Neville! That cracked me up!

filming is great taking the mike is a bonus

Thank you, Neville and crew! Great job on reconstruction and video as well.

Great video Neville, thank you.

Hi Neville, Its called Stressed Skin Construction.

Great video as always Nev! I wonder, would Kermit Weeks send some parts over to LAHC to help the team out & get some parts restored in return?

Thanks Neville, as always great info!

Good way of describing it with the chassis of old cars. Basically a modern car is copying a plane from 80 yrs ago. Just modern materials and crumple zones.

Awesome Neville, progress is happening 👍 thank you buddy

Thanks Neville, great to see progress!

Another great video, thanks Neville. Great to see the wing in the jig, but a question. @ ~21m it looks like the front spar mounting bracket is not firmly bolted to the frame. Is it just a trick of the camera, or the allowance for the angle of the spar?

Another day closer to

Real progress!

amazing watch,love watching your channel

Thank you Neville

Where are your ear defenders guys . I have tinnitus from years of hammer drills etc , not good . Well done with all your doing .

Totally agree, I also have tinnitus (too much loud music) and wish I knew then what I know now.

But then he might lose his strength...

Pesrpex is at trade name for acrylic. So just call it acrylic.

How many rivets are there in a Lancaster.

The mono sound sounded better to my ears.

Neville with the fuselage struts surely if they had the specs of a short Stirling they could infact construct one

If they had the plans….. I think Shorts destroyed them all.
