No computers, no FEA, no CFD, just great engineering. And, Just Jane is being rebuilt in way superior to WW2 manufacturing. With utmost respect to those folks in the war, these aircraft were not expected to last more than a few weeks, so meticulous attention to corrosion resistance and longevity were not high on the list. Just Jane will surely be around well into the next century. A wonderful testament to the wonderful people who dedicated their lives to the success of WWII , and to the terrific dedication of the craftsmen at E Kirkby. All captured by Neville. Thumbs up, then watch the video.

Many thanks for this video Nev,its interesting what Chris says, again i would think a lot of us never knew this.Jacob again is doing a great job and its nice to hear he is going to ask Dave about the bit hes not sure of his dedication to detail is lovely he really puts his heart into his work. Also the piece with Denis was also very interesting. Cheers Nev,many thanks for your videos week after week i really look forward to them. Take care mate.
I’m going to have a punt on the black bomb Aimers compartment. Black is anti reflective and could have been used to absorb glare from searchlights and anti aircraft fire .
One thing that I've noticed over the years is that the people doing the work have become used to explaining what they are doing, and are showing their passion for the job. I think this is mostly because they see your videos as a very positive thing, and your own work gains as a result. Well done!
Hello Neville, I’ve been following your coverage of NX611 for some time and always look forward to new videos. If the Gerald I occasionally see in your videos is Gerald Riddett, who flew in Moncton NB a number of years ago please say hello for me. Cheers, Graham Sheppard.
I am getting worried now, as these great vids appear to be only days apart, but NO, they are weekly, but to me, seem like only a couple of days ago, i must be getting old, and hope i see this Bird fly, ...........
The attention to detail is enormous to the extent that I just wonder whether the production line aeroplane was built to this standard. Granted that the wartime aircraft probably had a short expectation of life, NX611 is being built for a hopefully long life. Granted that NX 611 will not be required to carry a bomb load are we all sure that the engineering is not going to be overly heavy.
I suspect the airworthy standards of today in peacetime are a lot more stringent than what was needed in 1943. You really only need look at the extensive ongoing maintenance the BBMF Lancaster receives, and it carries no bomb load neither.
This is great Nev … hope that you are good sir? Be nice to meet you someday at East Kirkby. When you do your filming is the centre open for visitors as you would have a proper authorisation like the staff I would imagine ?
Neville, your Lancasters and others were night bombing- I'm sure light control was important both he bomb aimer's sight as well as others and as a cloak in the darkness.
Neville, if you ever get the time, it might be interesting to viewers to get to know you a little like for example what you used to do, I’m sure you must have been a regular or national service?

Thanks Neville, the patience of these guys is amazing 👍👍

Thank you Neville, always nice to catchup with progress on Jane

Thanks again Neville. :-)
Thanks Neville .
So many hours of work needed for each manufactured item, true dedication.😊

Another wonderful video Neville.
Great update as usual Neville. Many thanks
great progress - pass on my regards to one and all, they're all do a fine job
Thanks, Nev.

Jabroc ? Sounds amazing stuff I must look into this
Thank you for asking about the internal paint.. sounds like nothing was standard..
Neville when they cut the metal out how do they bend the circle bits over without leaving a crease in them
Metal shrinker
Neville, your Lancasters and others were night bombing- I'm sure light control was important both he bomb aimer's sight as well as others and as a cloak in the darkness.
With all those panels being replaced you could build another Lancaster or better still sell them off.
Good video,as ever,Nev, what's happened to Keith of late...has he been on holiday or has he retired?
