Always look forward to your touch with the personal relationship these artisans have with flying and all it's glory! Thanks again, Neville!

Another informative video, thanks Neville. Sending our thoughts and prayers to the BBMF pilot who died today and his family and friends. RIP Mark Long (edited 25-05-24)

Neville !, this is actually addressed to the gentlemen and lady (?) who do the physical work on the project. There may be days when these quires and questions may seem tedious, but rest assured that we appreciated the work you guys do as well as the insight, engineering, history, and first person anecdotes you provide. NO where on the web, or world, is there a site that gives this much pure enjoyment, no matter what level we are at. So...GOOD ON YA MATES!!!. And Neville, you're not too bad yourself young man.

Thanks again Neville. Just Jane will be in a far better condition than when she left the factory originally. The knowledge, skill and patience of Dave, Phil and company is astounding.

Fascinating!! 0.1mm clearance to prevent puckering by the expanding rivet. The knowledge needed to be an aircraft designer or engineer are astonishing.

Once again a wonderful update Neville, much appreciated 🙏 Heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the BBMF pilot who lost his life in the Spitfire crash at Coningsby, probably well known to many of the engineers working on Just Jane, sorry for your loss.

Awful to hear the news of the tragic death of the RAF BBMF Pilot after his Spitfire crashed today (Saturday just after midday). Thoughts and condolences to his family and loved ones. Per Ardua Ad Astra

Just a quick correction Neville, the Caterpillar Club isn’t actually anything to do with Martin-Baker, it is run by Irvin Air Chutes (now Irvin-GQ) the manufacturer of the parachute. It is awarded to anyone who has their life saved by an Irvin parachute. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for another great video. Saw you getting footage on Saturday

Fascinating video. I like how they try to salvage as much material as they can to keep the aircraft as original as possible.

Great update Neville. Very interesting again. The guys are doing such an amazing job. Like so many I just want to say how sad I am to hear of the loss of the RAF BBMF pilot who has tragically lost his life today. God bless him and deepest sympathy to his loved ones. Thank you Neville and look forward to your next video. Best wishes to you and all the gang there at the centre. 👍

My goodness it was noisy on this visit Neville . I'm surprised ear defenders are not required . As always thankyou Neville .

Neville, @28:20 they are explaining etch primer. The advances in paint technology (chemistry) in the last 30 years is incredible. I am restoring an airplane myself. I can tell you these new etch primers are fantastic compared to what was available (to me) in the 70s and worlds better than what was used in the 40s. This Lancaster should be able to fight corrosion ten times better than when built new. Another excellent video, Sir.

I’ve worked in Martin Bakers and it very much has that “men in sheds” feel to it but my Lord do they produce some beautiful kit !

My late FIL was a member of the caterpillar club after bailing out of a Lancaster over Germany. His were one of the few complete crews that managed to all get out and survive.

Thanking you for another amazing video. I learn something new every week. As a ex Rolls Royce engineer who came from the shop floor, I actually made some parts for the Eagle engine which where all imperial Whit worth, BSF and BA threads.

Thanks, Nev. Try and find the book 'Into the Silk', a fascinating history of people who have been saved by the use of parachutes.

Another gem. Thank you Neville and thanks to the lads for the amazing work being carried out. :-)

Thank you Neville, nice to catchup with all the work going on

Another cracking video Nev thankyou so much just saddened by the news yesterday,thinking of the family right now mate.Take care.

Just heard about the poor spitfire accident today .very sad.poor raf pilot

Great update Neville thank you. Interesting lesson Phil was giving on drill sizing process for the rivet application and the work he is currently doing on the door frame stringers. Dave's making progress now with the cleats for the stringers.and good to see work on Janes Front Turret in progress.

Excellent great video 👍 thanks Neville

Thank you for the update, Neville and crew!

Another great update bro, I did like the info regarding the ETCH primer and the tale of ejection seat usage. Safe travels. Ken.

Excellent update Neville!

100% agree, Nev you have developed into a real information source for us armchair riveters.

Thanks Nevill once again 😂

Nice work Nev

As always a very interesting video two questions Neville when the day comes for just Jane to fly will the taxi rides be stopped as everyone walking through her could damage her & the second question how is the Mosquito doing will the engine be working soon 😊

So we now have a workshop and jig facility capable of building a new one, if someone can afford it 😃

When I was going to VoTech school in 1969 they were telling us that the US would be converting to Metric soon. Here it is almost 60 years later and we are still using imperial standards. Metric is so much easier to work with. Makes no sense to me.

Neville, any update on the Hampden project?
