😂. He’s allowed to say it. Seems rude to repeat it
I never ceased to be amazed by the knowledge and skill of these craftsmen. Another fantastic video Neville. Thank you.
I LOVE the outtake !!!!! Glad to see you back from your visit.
It's great to have you back Nev. . I've been lost over the last few weeks without seeing your videos...... I've had to speak to the wife 😅😅😅.

Hi Neville love watching your films I look forward to to every Saturday ❤
Glad to have you back Neville……Saturday normality has returned 👌
Thanks Neville, great stuff as usual, complex old things, those turrets!
Your videos have been greatly missed by many. The team is making good progress. Thanks to all once again.
Glad you are ok Nev,hope you enjoyed your break,once again another wonderful video i dread to think how many miles you have travelled to bring us these videos and i think i can speak for most of us we are very grateful. Its lovely to see how well the lads are doing the dedication they are putting in to get the Lanc airworthy will be well worth it in the end,can,t thank them enough. Keep up the good work,once again Nev......thankyou. Take care.
Don't sweat it Neville, you're doing a brilliant job, cheers!
As ever , thanks for documenting the work on JJ
Another superb video, thanks Neville.
Love every update that you do. In a busy workshop there is bound to be issues with sound but that is never a problem
When the outtakes are better than a lot of youtube videos, which are very teenious.
Good to see you back. I have no problems with you on the videos. I am 69 and not the best hearing. We love you videos and look forward to seeing them, they turn up around lunch time in New Zealand.😀
Welcome back Neville.....now, all's well as we are now getting our Saturday fix thanks to you and the the Team.👍
what a fantastic video,thank you so for all that you do.
Well done Neville another cracking video, you are humming on video again mate, always makes me laugh, keep up the good work.
Missed your video last week, I thought you were on holiday. You deserve one with all the time you put into the videos.
Glad to see you back Neville, I hope you and yours had a good holiday. As to the question of 'Perspex' every book I've ever read including ones written during and just after the war, use the word "Perspex" Perspex as you rightly said was a trade name. The manufacturer was the chemical giant ICI, Imperial Chemical Industries. They were the producers to the best of my knowledge of ALL the "Perspex" used in all the United Kingdom produced aircraft during WW2 I believe they had various plants around the country. I'm not sure how many were capable of producing the product, but in wartime who knows? I suppose there could have been imports of another brand of sheet acrylic from the US and maybe ICI couldn't produce enough to supply the demand for it. Huge as that demand must have been on top of all the other chemical products they had to make. But certainly in the early part of the war, as far as I know, "Perspex" it was called and actual Perspex it was.
Welcome back. I’ve missed the weekly updates and hope you’re OK. You have a most enquiring and relaxing voice, nothing gruff, it’s more background work that drowns out what is being said, not your fault.. hope you enjoyed the holiday. Thanks again for your excellent insight to the restoration of NX611, all good stuff and more educational than Tony Robinson on Time Team (and a lot less running about and waving of arms, but just as fun and exciting!)😂😂
Great to have you back Nev.! Can you let the chap know doing the front turret that it appears he is missing the hold open clips. They keep the covers of the machine guns open on the FN5 turret During loading of ammunition
Another great update Neville. Thanks for all the effort that you go to record everything. Sound was good this one, so it works what ever you did.
Good to see you back Nev. And we all look forward to hearing your "old and gruffty" voice each Saturday. You stay as you are! 😊
Dear Neville, despite your age, you are doing a more than excellent job in recording the progress of everyone, working on 'Just Jane'. I do not mind, if an answer takes a little while, no problem. You are no youngster!!
Hi Nev glad to see you back. Don't worry about the audio, it's just the background noise and let's be honest there is plenty of that at East Kirkby lol nothing you can do about that when interviewing one of the guys inside the hangar. As for Perspex, yes it was a the trade name of Imperial Chemical Industries here in the uk. And to my knowledge of reading all sorts of books written both during and after the war, Perspex it was always called., now as a kid in the sixties "Perspex" was a household word, but it never was before and during the war. After yes because Perspex was becoming know because of the use in aircraft during wartime and it was always called that, not "Acrylic" I didn't know until the eighties that Perspex was actually acrylic ! As a teacher we used to get a donation of coloured acrylic sheet off cuts from a sign making company the one of our pupils parents owned and even then most of the sheet acrylic was ICI's "Perspex" there was a smattering of other brands, the only one I can remember was "Lexan" which is a shatterproof not quite clear acrylic. Out borough CDT advisor had purchased a full sized sheet or sheets, and it had been cut up and a piece given to each of the schools in the borough for the schools to make their own shatterproof shields for the drill presses. I made up a mould and former to make them in the vacuum former we had just been given.
Thanks Neville, nice to see some well known faces again doing what they love.
Excellent video as usual Neville, thank you for the time you give to this project, it is a valuable resource whuch will be valued for many years to come. The sound quality was fine, particularly considering the noisy conditions you are filming in. I particularly appreciate your humming a merry tune to yourself as you move from one place to another. Keep up the good work.
No problems with the sound nev, and nothing wrong with your voice, keep it up 😊
Good to hear you've had a break Neville, but it's great to see you're right back at it :D
Nice to see you back Neville hope you had a good break ? Lovely to see the progress on Jane
Great to see you back, didn't know what happened at 6pm the last two weeks, hope all is ok
Glad to have you back posting about Just Jane Neville. Have missed your videos on a Sunday morning here in NZ . Hope you are well .
Incredible skills here ! a pity major engineering firms can't co-operate their apprentices to build a static exact replica of a Stirling using these skills
Just think of the original Lancasters being thrown together in wartime compared to the care of Just Jane's perfect reconstruction! Wow!!
Beautiful! 🫡🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks for asking Neville. Hope you had a great time at your sons - missed your Saturday videos- John from NH, USA.
fascinating video Nev' i really appreciate the efforts you go to to record the goings on (and personally, your voice is great, narration is a success) i am now going to have to go back to the beginning and binge watch everything - seeing you guys fit and refit until its right shows the dedication, love and skill that goes into these mighty birds - but i can't help think what it must of been like back in the day - 'that's the part Bert, make it fit, use a hammer lad, oh that will be fine, its nothing critical' - and the production on the Wellingtons must of been crazy with all those frames being different
Hope you’re doing good Nev. I have been lost without your wonderful videos 😂
Another great update bro, sorry but ya out takes were amusing, really gotta hold your tongue in just the right spot. Safe travels. Ken.
Thanks Neville, Glad you're well. I bet there's a lot more outtakes you arn't showing us ha ha. Take care and thanks again. :-)
Another excellent video Neville - perfect sound as always!
Thanks, Nev.
Great to have another video,Nev. I think the word you were looking for was Tediousness. Lol
The sound is great in mono Neville! really good

Hi Stephen, I sent a question to you 4 days ago on Video 249 I guess you mist it, regarding combing above the instrument panel. John and the lads not sure what you are referring to could you clarify .Is it the shape of the top of the instrument panel !. thanks for the comment on 253. @stephenhobbs1052 9 days ago @nevillewheeldon1693 Hi Neville, can you ask the guys at the hangar if the combing above the instrument panel was a thing with Tiger Force Lancs? none of the earlier pics in Lancaster at War feature that combing? Must have been to keep the sun off the instruments flying in daylight. Jane has it.. Cheers Neville @nevillewheeldon1693 4 days ago @stephenhobbs1052 Hi Stephen, not sure what you mean by combing, I had a word with John and then went into the Lancaster cockpit, none of the lads new what combing meant in regards to the instrument panel ,did some videoing while this was going on
Normal service resumed. No problem with the sound Neville. Usual sounds around the hanger from drilling and you cant plan that! This aircraft is a real craft item as are the video outtakes!
Poor you Neville at the end lol 😂

Thanks for the update Neville and glad to have you back. Hope you have had a nice break. The guys are doing such an incredible job. So much going on. Craftsmen. Nothing at all wrong with the sound or your voice Neville. I've never had any issue with it at all mate. It is after all a busy workshop so there is going to be noise issues. You just keep doing what you do. Myself and many others really do appreciate all the time and effort you put into these updates each week. Looking forward to your next video and best wishes to you and everyone at the centre. Take care.👍
Thank you for another update video showing progress in many areas, Neville and crew, this time in such a very realistic way, lol. Cheers!
Hooray he’s back!
Thanks Neville, good video, glad to see the progress and what’s been going on at East Kirkby since your last visit. Enjoyed the outtakes at the end!! Cheers Matt.
And totally no problem with the sound. Its a working workshop so your going to get noise. Just ignore them. We all lobe your vids😊 and please keep them coming.
Thanks for the head's up on which is which. The confused viewer was me. 👍
your doing a gracking job |Neville 👍, keep it going 😊
Neville, there's nothing wrong with your audio, there never was. Just ignore the moaners and carry on doing it your way. Cheers!
dont change anything , love what you do neville . many thanks!
Glad to see you back Nev. We’ve missed you the last few weeks but happy now you’re back. Keep up the great work of recording this amazing project.
PHEW! My Saturdays are now complete again. (but I'm glad you had a nice break away) Doesn't the rear fuselage look amazing now? Its hard to remember what a state it was in. Nice quite hanger for a change as well. Thanks again Neville
What do they do with all the tags on the parts once the are no longer needed? Do they have to save them?
Welcome back nev 😊 we've missed u 😊 . Hope u had a good break. Please keep the great videos coming.
These vids are priceless Nev - the detail is fantastic. Your voice is just fine mate, but your garden fence could do with a lick of preservative! 😉
Well done Nev it's like watching paint dry for you, is there any news on the Mitchell..
There's always some moaners. They know best. Built lots of Airfix kits, no doubt...
I'm just thinking out loud with box section for bending it shape for gunn turrets, if try blank off one section of the box tubbing, and let be filled with water, then freeze could then try bending the box tube to the right shape my be. ???
Always something to show us Neville! You can say you done your bit to restore JJ!! Try to keep up with your channel, Likes, comments and views are important to KZread algorithm. Still a shocking low number of subscribers to your channel.
. . . Shows the Tediousness of the Task . . .
I wonder if restoring NX664 will result in a taxi capable aircraft alongside NX611?

Great to see you back Neville, I assume you have been away on one of your exclusive luxury Caribbean cruises again 😎 Thanks for the update was very interesting. The mono sound seems to have improved the audio quality. Oh, I have a question.... how much of the airframe are the team expecting to replace, another way of asking how much of Just Jane will be original by the time the rebuild is complete? Just watching the rear fuselage being rebuilt suggests a large amount will be replaced
I was getting worried 2 weeks no Jayne.
Wasn't the Lazer your idea Neville?
If they tig weld the weather shroud for the gun, why wouldn’t you weld up the wear scratch.
Was there no progress on the wing? Thanks for posting the new video.
Nev wasn’t that the engine I thought was out of sink with the other three engines
Neville can please help me to understand why they have Two insist having the b25 right behind the Lancaster all the time, instead of the Mosquitoe
