Think it got retired from flying because it had been flown that many times, risk of breaking up so it got retired, she's now on static display at RAF Metheringham Visitor Centre.
What type engines where the outboard ones? They seem to be 2 stroke single cylinder like the inboard ones, but I don't understand the partially obstructed chin inlets and the lack of the side protruding carburetters visible on the inboard engines. I thought the outboard engines where dummy's with free spinning props or something, until it began its run-up. My best guess is that they are smaller powered engines that fit entirelly within the scale cowling and require much less cooling air from the chin inlets.
They are currently restoring the original Just Jane NX611 to an airworthy standard at East Kirkby - progress can be seen on Neville Wheeldon's RUclips channel.
@@sereptonltd I think he means ''Bally's Bomber'' 😉 This is a 1/3rd miniature B17 lookalike, it's not RC but a real flying aircraft, awesome. ruclips.net/video/DgA_4r7CosQ/видео.html
Brilliant!! A great achievement gentlemen!!
A bit bigger and you could man it! I wish.. Thats incredible lads!🎉
Wow. I fly a 2 seat aircraft which also has a 25 ft wingspan - but only one engine!
Impressive!!
Wouldn’t it be awesome if this piece of art could be refurbished and made to fly again? That would certainly be epic.

A terrific model, well done to those or who built it! The camera man needs to buck up though - only joking - sort of
The pilot is SqnLdr Umpah Lumpa
Big enough 4 a pilot.
Pretty sure they're running 35MHz. A great macvhine. Simpler times, when you didn't ned the state's permission to do this.

mdmc.bmfa.org/gallery/members-models/1-4-scale-model-lancaster-1995 have a look here mate
@@jonathanmuse1985 TY answered my question perfectly.
Needs 3 bladed props, just like the real thing.
How old is this video? Using old FM radios, so I’m thinking quite a while ago.
If you read the description it will tell you more. Was late 90s mate
Very impressive but the wings have too much dihedral
Well at least you didn't say.....''but a Lancaster had three bladed props''......Remember how long ago this was made.
Why not build a Lancaster that a pilot can fly, like the B17 in the US?
Never say never just time and money
They did make a Lancaster that a pilot could fly...
