Great video Neville. She is taking shape 👍👍

What a superb craftsman Keith is. I hope he can impart his knowledge onto young Jacob, otherwise these skills will be gone.
I'm sure he will Tez.
Another fascinating insight into the Lancaster. Thank you Neville.
Cheers Claire.
I can’t get over the skills and talents of these engineers. Many years of experience all working together on this aircraft. Amazing!
Cheers Peter
I loved watching Simone work her English wheel. I'm hopeful we'll get to see her doing her magic again.
Me too SilentOtto.
Thanks for the update Neville. Very interesting again. Wonderful work by all the gang there at East Kirkby. Pure craftsmen. Good to hear that they will soon be starting on Just Janes rear fuselage and also other parts of her aiming to getting her airworthy once more. I cannot wait to see those videos Neville. That board with the guys names on it. Johns Fan Club 😂. Look forward to your next update mate. Best wishes. 👍
Cheers Andy
Such talented craftsmen. Brilliant stuff.

One of my bucket list items is to be an apprentice to Keith!
Good choice.
Great progress coming to ahead Neville fantastic workmanship. Keith skills are inspiring and need to be passed on to Jaco as indeed John and Peter skill sets too or they could be lost forever. Thanks again for another great update. Looking forward to your next already!
Dream job, I'd do that for nothing.

Hi Neville, great to see the Doncaster tail section now being sprayed and transplanted. Could you ask the guys whether Jane`s own tail section will be as intensive as this Doncaster one, which i`m assuming won`t be as she seems to be in much better condition already?.
@@davecooke4009 The "Doncaster" fuselage is from a Lancaster on loan from Doncaster. It's being restored so it can be put on NX611 for a taxi season while NX611's own fuselage is restored to airworthiness.
Hi Neal , every rivet will have to be drilled out, A number of formers have to be replaced and all the skins will be New. The rear part of the fuselage (rear gun section) has already been restored. ( Rivet are corroding, made of Magnesium alloy)
Great videos Neville!! Didn't know that the team were keeping score :-D you could have chalked up John x1; Keith x1 Taff Stone x1 and Norm x1 Oh and Andrew the boss x2 cheers chaps keep up the great work, hope the boss allows you a break at Christmas :-O
Cheers Keith.
Thank you for all these wonderful videos! I have a question about the riveting in the Doncaster fuselage. It looks like the final hole size is drilled but the hole is not given a final deburring. Is that because the Doncaster fuselage will only be used for display/taxi and not be flown?
Hi Thomas, I put your question about the final clearance drilling to Dave. Check out video 177 at 14.38 in.
Quick question for you please, the spraying that’s been done seems to be over a mixed surface background, I was always used to seeing some kind of base primer...zinc chromate or the like of! Is this final finish here, or will it be re- finished? Meantime keep up the brilliant work you do, seemingly tirelessly??! Someone has to do it...but there are so few who can or would! ATVBest to you all! Cheers
Hi Nigel, you have to remember this will only be a static display when the Centre as finished with it in about 12 months, it as not been restored to airworthy condition. Cost comes into play, the Centre pays for it all.
I hought the plane was being restored to fly again ?
Great update as usual. I am still confused on which parts will be used in the flyable Lanc and which ones in the plane for exhibition purposes, as usual as well, lol. But no problem at all, still attached to this fantastic job of yours. Cheers, crew!
It's simple. The Doncaster fuselage you have been watching being repaired to taxiable standard will be used on the Lancaster Just Jane NX611 so her taxi fundraising can carry on next season while Jane's own fuselage is restored to airworthy condition. Then it will go back on to Jane, and the Doncaster fuselage will go back to the Doncaster museum.
@@samrodian919 , ty for clarifying it. But what about the French parts, particularly the wings?
Hi Namer , check out Video 178 uploaded on 8th Jan 2023. Right at the beginning I explain what is going on.
@@nevillewheeldon1693 , thank you! I already watched it, and everything is as clear as the plexiglass at Just Jane rear turret now!
Curious about the schedule. I believe you said a while back, the so-called "Doncaster [aft] fuselage" would be swapped for that of Just Jane, the latter then being refurbished to flight-worthy standards. When is the swap planned, and I look forward to those videos for sure ! Thank you !
If you look back at this video, Neville shows us Jane has all her turret and tail plane removed ready for transplanting, so, i would say it`s imminent, maybe even in progress as we speak?.
Hi HH, The talked about doing it Last Nov 2022. Running a few weeks over time. But all being well this week Jan 9th2023.
@@nevillewheeldon1693 THANK YOU !!!
I echo what has already been said about the skills. Your video portion is great. Your audio might be as clear as the talents if you would lose that face diaper, plrase.
Working on it.
Is there any good usable parts at the crash site Porjus in Lapland NF-920
Interesting video! NF920 was a Mk1 Lanc. JJ is Mk7 as was NX664, both did service in the French navy. The RAF retiring the Lancaster from front line service in 1956 at Raf St Mawgan. If you search google, you can find a short video of this.
