This is priceless! Thank you Neville!
It's great to see these updates and you can feel the momentum behind NX611's rebuild, a very interesting film, and encouraging that the business sector are sometimes able to help out. Thanks again Neville for posting the film.
It's a pleasure Matt ,thanks for watching.
Very heartening to see this incredible restoration in such careful and skilled hands.
Hi Vickers Doorter, I think so too. Thanks for watching.
My uncle was a Lancaster pilot with the RCAF during WW 2. He passed away in the early 1990's. He did his training in Aylmer, Ontario where the Ontario police college is now. He retained his log book from his flights and bombing missions over Nazi Germany and it still exists in our family.
I made a copy of it for myself. His name was Donald Hudson. Very proud of him.
Hi Paul. I can see why you are very proud of him. With your uncle Donald flying Lancasters I wonder was he at any time at one of Lincolnshire's 29 RAF bomber stations. Thanks for your comments and watching
Enjoyed both videos Nev very informative, keep up the good work and a Merry Christmas to you all..
A lot of work to restore one of these birds. My compliments to the crew that takes on this challenge.
Hi fw1421 I will pass your comments on. thanks for watching
Another excellent video. I found it absolutely rivetting..........err... We had a brilliant day there some years ago with family and grandchildren. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Eric for your comments.
Thank you for another utterly inspirational and interesting video. Andrew has such an engaging style that I was hanging on every word. His dry wit and the odd wry smile masked what has I suspect been a long and difficult project to manage. I take my hat off to the team and wish them every good fortune in getting her airworthy. The willingness of companies to step forward with support is good to see.
Hi Tank builders,thanks for your comments. Andrews talk lasted about one hour twenty five minutes. He certainly kept my attention and am sure he had the same effect on the 130 who attended. Thanks for watching.
Long live the mighty Lancaster, as so beautiful seeing her fly over Uxbridge car show this year, as four merlin engine sounds absolutely fantastic ✈️
Hi Tyrone it will be good to see two Lancasters in the air again ,thanks for watching
Thanks for uploading this, every video you shoot here reminds me of how much I need to visit
Hi Liam, good place to come I'm lucky I live in Lincolnshire. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Neville, absolutely fascinating.
Cheers James
Another excellent update!
Thanks Charles
Love this talk on a magnificent aircraft...as long as 'Soaring Tractor' keeps away! ( i am sure some of you will know who i am referring to)
Excellent bro so thanks for posting. All the best from a 29c NZ well forecast to be anyway the same as yesterday.
Hot again in NZ lucky you. cheers Ken
It's ok if you like hot days but I like it around 18c better
In Victoria BC Canada they are restoring a Canadian built MKX to flight in a 10 year program. Their Lanc came from Toronto. Check out Plane Savers UA-cam channel AKA Buffalo Airways based in Yellowknife Canada. They are returning a DC 3 to flight.
Thanks for sharing this fantastic story about a real heroe from the air war against Nazi Germany!
Hi Einar it's a pleasure , thanks for watching
Great video.
FASCINATING!
Hi Mike, thanks for watching
Good stuff Andrew
I'll second, that thanks for watching
Avery informative video as usual Neville, a real labour of love this project. I haven't been to East Kirkby yet, do I assume they have sufficient runway space for the aircraft to take-off and land when that day eventually arrives?
Geoff T Just to chip in on the runway question you had... There used to be a link on the LAHC website that explained in detail about how they will have a runway available for when JJ is ready to fly. I remember there's an agreement in place with a local farmer who will let them use his land to create a compete runway. I don't think it's there now, but neither is there a need just yet.
Hi Geoff yes they do have. If I remember rightly a Lancaster needs 6100 feet of runway, East Kirkby as 6250 feet. (CAA rules??)
Neville Wheeldon : Many thanks for the information. Geoff
This story is very inspiring. To have a 2nd Lancaster flying in the UK will be superb. I have watched all the videos, and just watched the two that were uploaded over the last few days - parts 1 & 2. In those Andrew explained that a chap came in to rebuild the engines - no 3 took 1250 hours if I recall hiom saying, and then they worked on the other 3. And then you had the taxi-ing runs with tail up. You must forgive my lack of knowledge, but if the original engines were reconditioned at great length/expense, why did it need 4 "new" engines to eventually make it airworthy. What will happen to the originals?
Hi Driverman0, No 3 engine was rebuilt for taxi rides only ,to restore the engine and fit it to a flying aircraft it would have to be rebuilt to CAA specification and inspection. Andrew said it cost £100,000 to have one engine made airworthy by a CAA registered Company . If they paid £20 per hour to the engineers 1250 x £20 = £25,000 it's a big difference in price and at that time they had not considered making the Lancaster airworthy. Of the four engines used for taxiing I guess they will make at least two of them airworthy for spares. These are my thoughts and not official comments of the Centre as I am only a visitor. Hope this helps Nev.
@@nevillewheeldon1693 Yes, thank you Nev, it did. I am slowly becoming aware of the intricacies of the CAA rules! A working engine doesn't necessarily mean an airworthy engine!
I'm just back home from a Winter Restoration Tour at East Kirkby. It was a birthday treat to myself and just a perfect celebration. Much of this relates to the work conducted in Winter 2016/17. I remember seeing Just Jane in this condition on 19 Jan 2017 and also Andrew's comments on it at the time. It's a truly inspirational project and makes me so proud every time I make a visit there. Check out my reaction to a taxy ride in 2014 - ua-cam.com/video/zuOfVWjeL8o/v-deo.html
Hi John , I checked out your taxi ride comments, very good video. Andrew's comes across has a very competent leader on this project. Thanks for your comments and watching
It was a bit confusing to me. Was the aircraft paint removed and then repainted before restoration started?
Restoring the outside was the best thing to do while awaiting the engines. When you strip the paint you find all the hidden boo-boos. as you must remove the skin for a complete restoration it makes a lot of sense to restore the bad bits (Tail section and leading edges) now your outer skin is painted its is time to see about the under framing. Aluminium begins degrading and doesn't stop once exposed to the air so minimum would be undercoating.
Who has put the three thumbs down??
Seeing this aircraft always fills me with great sadness and shame. A tool of old men sitting in comfortable offices arranging deaths of thousands of innocent children in the cellars of Dresden, Hamburg etc. by fire and suffocation.
I have some sympathy with your perspective since war is ALWAYS about wealth, one way or another. Yet, what would you have had them do? Just let fascism over-run us? The men and women who fought that bloody war are to be held in the highest esteem.
The lessons of the last century are already fading and sadly, fascism is now overtaking us in a subversive way. Not just the UK (soon to be Little England, the 51st state) but everywhere it seems to me. This populism nonsense is actually a betrayal of the men and women who fought and died. Populism is also a tool of wealthy old men. And so the circle repeats.
very interesting my only criticism would be the just Jane artwork is a bit racy considering a lot of families will be visiting
