Thanks Mr. Neville. I work at a park in Miami FL doing sanitation, and rules enforcement. Lots of fun!. These videos are enjoyable to me, and educational. One must always be continually educated. Love these old flying machines, and then people that restore them. Bless
Another super video Neville, thank you for the airfield history and for highlighting the sad losses of the many aircrew that passed through East Kirkby, and those of Bomber Command.
Another good one Neville .Interesting seeing Simone's skills using the English Wheel.,would be good to see a bit more sometime when she is fully recovered.
Hi Michael , yes that would be good, her workshop is on the south coast, about 200miles away. I'm sure Simone will be back up to East Kirkby in the near future.
I performed aircraft sheet metal work for many years. Watching her work (and with only one good arm) shows what a true talent she is. I would welcome her on my repair team any time.
Gday Nev, Thanks for the update enjoyed your research on the missing Lancaster. Looks like it's busy again there .Hope you are ok and keeping well ,Take care mate ..Tony🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great crew at Lincolnshire! So like Simone to be on site teaching and directing someone else at this- not only bringing "Just Jane" closer to her date with the air, but giving her "right hand man" a great start at metal shaping. FR
@@nevillewheeldon1693 Over here, computer whizz bangs make multi ton dies and then bang them out thousands at a time. The hand skills are not much found here either. The spirit at Lincolnshire is awesome- they will get this done. Your content on their adventure has been my pleasure to view. It needed recording, it really does. FR
Thank You Very Much Neville for this very interesting Historic update 👍 Wish Susan The True sheet metal Specialist good health and recovery from the bad bike accident 🌷
Thankyou! Neville Wheeldon and the crew, I really enjoy these videos and being taught how this plane was/is made and seeing it go back together to fly again Thumbs Up from me
Cheers for the update and background on the airfield bro. The guy I bought my house off was from England and was on Lancaster's I remember he was doing something like a book of the crews and where they served and what happened to them. He worked at the same place I did at the time and died a couple of years ago.
wow top marks for Symone, can even do the job one handed, i'm almost thankful that the injury was done in a motorbike accident (bad enough) but the job of using the English Wheel makes you wince because injuries were very common for newbies squishing fingers and thumbs between the wheels, makes the ol' botty muscle twitch doesn't it
Curious about East Kirkby -- your description was much abbreviated compared to previous visits of other former airfields. Enquiring minds would like to know how many of the 36 hard stands remain. You said it was constructed as Class A, and yet, I seem to recall seeing Just Jane rolling around on grass. I presume the location current day is compatible with UK flight rules to allow for flight operations, and too, there would be radio, light, and POL facilities ? LOVE your (re)introduction of Simone and nice coverage of her assisted English wheel work. Doubly impressive lady, being on a motorbike -- may need to remind her to keep the rubber side down. And what is the tool she uses at the end ?
Hi HH , back in the 1943/5 all three runways were concrete as well the 3mileof perimeter track and the hard stands. but 40 or so years ago 95% was dug up and used for hardcore for the A1 road Dual carriage way which runs through Lincolnshire. The Lancaster will have a grass runway 6000feet long running North/South at East Kirkby. Back in 1941 the Lancaster's took off from grass runways. Simone was using a crimping tool, helps to bend the material at a different angle (shrinks the edge)
@@nevillewheeldon1693 Hi Neville - We lived there from 62/65 in the Officers Married quarters before we went to Aden - sang in the church choir at Spridlington, which meant a dash around the perimeter track on a Sunday morning
Thank you for another informative video Neville. Next time you visit that display in the tower, look up loss 127...I did a lot of research on that one and a copy of my original notes from 2016 are part of the folder. Were you at the centre on Thursday this week? I thought I saw you from a distance, but was too far away to give you a shout out lol. I was there with young Jack Berry and his family, along with a few of our 'book team' 🙂
Hi Neville . We stayed at Arromanche back in the 1980's . Very humbling to see the fallen in the huge fields . Susan hasn't lost her sense of humour "right hand man" ! 😂 What rather tired looking parts were those on the pallets ? Anything to do with the imminent arrival of the other rear fuselage ? Thanks Neville .

Cheers Tony, things are picking at the centre . They are going to start restoration work 12 month a year, instead of just the winter period.

Hi Frederic, skilled operatives of the English Wheel are scares in the UK.

Neville thanks for the update - shame about the incorrect Trailing edge lap on the new parts but things do happen, great to see progress being made
We all make mistakes Paul.

That would be nice.
Another excellent update Neville! Will you be visiting RAF Faldingworth?

Hi Karen, yes I was at East Kirkby last Thursday, very hot day. I will check out Lancaster 127.thank you.

The Centre is always on the look out fore spares, not sure were they came from John.
Why would that part not be cast in one piece?
is the wire work sculpture at east kirkby
Yes Mike, on the main entrance.
@@nevillewheeldon1693 thx
Will never ever use these advertisements like Peloton, ever!!
No not for me, but might be someone's cup of tea.
