13:00 I think that's the first time I've seen Keith smiling! He should do it more often! :D He's done a fantastic job on that wing!
Thanks for the excellent update Neville! All your hard work and dedication is very much appreciated!
Hi TFF, I'm always telling Keith what a great job he's done, some time I get a grunt and sometimes a smile.
Brilliant update thank you Neville 👍 the lads are cracking on. I would be lost without these updates!
Thank you David.
Thanks Neville. As a former Armourer myself, it was nice to see the gun feed systems! Cheers, Hugh !
Cheers Hugh.
Watching those large components being man-handled reminds me of the time when I started work for a furniture maker back in the 1970's. In the yard were a number of ex RAF bomb trolleys that were used for moving large baulks of timber. I used to wonder what kind of service life they'd had.
Nice one Alan.
Many thanks once again Nev,the lads have made a cracking job with the replacement nose section and to see how the gun feeds work was interesting things are really starting to take shape now. Take care Nev and thanks again mate.
Cheers Mike.
Great video as always Nev!! The team are doing a great job in JJ's restoration!!!
Cheers Rich.
Another fantastic update Neville, the restoration team are doing a brilliant job on her, the nose section seems like new, as does the replacement main wing, looking at the wing to be removed and restored looks like it’s going to be a long job, having said that the work they have done on the French wing will have given them some great experience, be nice to see this grand old lady of the sky flying again, keep up the great work with your vlogs
Cheers Graeme
Fantastic video Neville, i had never considered the gap on the rear spar before , thank you for the explanation. Bit by bit like a giant jigsaw puzzle she comes together and future generations will thank you for recording this masterpiece and the people that made it happen.
Further to your filming skills, Neville, have you thought about having an assistant /stand-in to continue your excellent work? Your dedication to this program is much appreciated
Cheers William.
Good to see the finished turret after all that hard work. Getting there and thanks for the update again Neville.
Cheers John.
As a rigger it's interesting to see the nice new wing section and the stress rippling on a 78 year old wing section. Its a nice thought that Just Jane will fly longer than any other, one she is finished.
Cheers dave.
Good visible progress indeed....I'm sure I saw Keith smile !!!
Keith always smiling😎.
Thanks Neville for your time and consideration top job top team awesome 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇲
I’ll second that👌
Cheers Phil
Cheers Rod.@@rodkennedy9800
Great video Neville, thanks. Somehow things like the trailing edge removal make you realize just what a massive job the whole project is. All the wiring and "stuff" in the No1 engine nacelle that will have be disconnected and refitted to the French wing, all the de riveting and stripping of the wing once it's off...massive jobs on their own, but only one step in the overall project. It's definitely a case of eating an elephant one bite at a time...
Thank you mate.
Its hard to believe that the nose and wing are the same 'scrap' that arrived all that time ago, excellent work by all of you.
It did look like scrap James.
Thank you for the update Neville, things are certainly progressing. Hopefully we will see the wing and rear fuselage swap soon
Hopefully Yes Gary.
Great update Neville - the French wing and nose section are looking very good!
Cheers Charles.
Another great update Neville. Please keep it up as I look forward to seeing your new update on 611.
Cheers Ivor.
Chris is such a lovely character, another great video Nev...
Cheers Allan.
Thank you for another great update video, Neville and crew!
Cheers Namer.
Top quality work,real craftsmonship
Excellent update Nev, Chris did an amazing job on the bombaimers section as you can tell now that it is painted. No more hundreds of dents in the skins!
Cheers Peter.
Fascinating as always well done boys 😊😊
Cheers John.
Amazing to see how it’s all coming together
Cheers Paul.
Great update again, thank you Neville. It is good to see how the nose now looks after painting and continued progress of the french wing are coming together. And more importantly more of Jane's parts becoming available for restoration to airworthy condition. Looking forward to your next update. Cheers Neville.
Cheers John.
Was about to send out a search party for you Neville. Thanks for another great update
Cheers mate.
I was reading 'Mosquito' by Rowland White while away on holiday, when a Canadian commented on the book. This lead to us chatting about planes. The next thing, we're discussing 'Just Jane' and the likes of Dave, Keith, John and the team 4500 miles away from Blighty. So, it certainly looks like you are all attracting world wide fame via your video's. Keep it up ! 😊
P.S. I enjoyed my visit East Kirkby this year.
Hi graeme that's good to hear.
Thanks for the update Neville. What a fantastic job the guys continue to do on this restoration. The workmanship they have done on the French wing section and the nose turret. Cannot believe they are the same parts that came into the workshop all that time ago. Well done everyone. There is still a lot of hard work ahead restoring Janes wing sections to airworthy condition but the work on the French wing has really been invaluable to the guys so they now know what to expect going forward. What a wonderful day it will be when Jane is airworthy again. Looking forward to your next update Neville. Best wishes to you and everybody at the centre. Take care.👍
Cheers Andy.
Good progress Neville and a cracking video crack on
Cheers Barry.
Thanks, Nev.
Cheers Malcolm
Fantastic video. Particularly interesting exposing a part people don’t generally see - the ammunition belt assist. Curious about the fuel tanks on the French wing - don’t y’all need at least some to feed the engines for taxi operation in those years the other parts are being returned to airworthy condition ? And along the same lines, I would have thought that Keith’s work on the French wings was not simply to have a place holder for taxi - rather also learning and practice for the work toward airworthy status to follow, and by the same token, would this also afford practice for the responsible party(ies) who sign off on the airworthy parts as they are assembled and recorded ? Also, about the French wing, in one of your videos you asked Keith about lights, and he said “no lights.” Does that mean - like today - he is working only “structures” and someone else will come along behind to add some lights, if not for airworthy condition - at least enough for Christmas lights that allow paying guests a more full experience ? How fun seeing the practical side of French nose being removed from the paint shop. Well done !
Hi HH, the French wing will not be having the 2 fuel wing tanks fitted or any wiring for lights this is to say time and money. They are fitting No 1 tank which is situated between number 2 engine and the Fuselage which will feed both 1 and 2 engines. Number 1 (Port and Starboard) fuel tanks have been away for servicing and made airworthy. this will save time and money. Remember this service will not cost the French one single penny. The lights are only used once a year in November when the do a night taxi run.
@@nevillewheeldon1693 Marvelous ! Thank you !!!
Cheers Neville. :-)
Cheers mate.
Another day closer Nev. Get your tickets soon 😂
Cheers Dale.
I’ve always thought if your gonna build one why not just do 2 !.
