Unreal amount of work. Never realised so much went into one of these airplanes. How they fixed up battle damaged ones on a temporary wartime airstrip amazes me
Thank you again Neville for your tireless efforts to document the amazing restoration process being carried out by the team at LAHC. Yet another excellent video!!!!
Nigel - watching the re-assembly of the nose turret is so satisfying for me. After the hard work of disassembly, cleaning, corrosion removal (or fabricating a replacement part) and then priming and painting everything it is a great pleasure to FINALLY start putting it all back together. My goal was always to make what ever airplane I worked on look as close to factory new as I could. WELL DONE, lads.
No, I think the intension is to give taxi rides as soon as JJ has it`s cockpit section being restored. As ever, Neville has several videos featuring the the Mitchell.
I think the short skins are there so there is no skin joint underneath the tail plane interface to the fuselage. If you look at the image at 8:09, the skin joint would sit under the leading edge of the tail plane, which would lead to a high stress point, so to reduce this the logitudonal joint was moved by shortening the skins and adding a largervertical piece.
7:46 oh very welcome Nev, I just seemed to remember something was said at the time when they were rebuilding the French rear fuselage section. I must admit when I saw todays video notification and I thought, hang, on there’s an unpainted tail assembly fitted in the thumbnail…. 😂
Love Chris' somewhat expensive "Broom Cupboard" A question for Dave having seen him drill umpteen holes I was wondering how long a drill bit lasts and does he sharpen the bit? Thanks for another great update Neville

Great to see the progress, putting skins on the fuselage must be rewarding on all the work done so far.
Congratulations on 11K subscribers. Hardly seems enough to fill a football ground. Anyone else missing the Rivet Club updates?
Theres wasn't one last month but theres a bumper one on the way for September
@@James-N Thank you.
Brilliant, thank you Neville
Thank you Neville, the rear fuselage is really starting to come together

How much of the Lancasters rear fuselage is original now after all the work thats been carried out on it?
Does the Mitchell fly that you see in the background?
Thank you
