It's only by watching your video's that you realise how much work goes into restoring this plane. The crazy number of holes drilled and they used to build everything this way, bridges, ships, tanks, all riveted. You have to take your hat off to these blokes, the meticulous detail & care they put into every job. It's awesome. Thanks Nev for going to the effort of recording it all.
Thanks Neville as always. I know folk get anxious and annoyed about the trunkated time line to finish Just Jane. I stopped asking some years ago. I just enjoy seeing the hours of work and patience required to restore such a large and complicated machine, that utilises forgotten methods of assembly and working practises, it's a work of art really and it will be done when it's done...... My guess is 20 years ssssshhhhh 👍
Sad to hear that they have extended the finishing time of Just Jane . I hope l will still be around to see her fly when and if she does . Very interesting video again Neville, thanks for all you do to show us what is happening.
Had the opportunity and pleasure of attending the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in August during my stay in the UK. Went to one of their air shows and finally saw Just Jane and the Mosquito doing their taxi runs and the engine run ups. It was just fantastic, like seeing a dinosaur come to life. Planning to go again next year if possible. Hopefully we’ll still be around to see the Lancaster take to the air in the not too far future. Thanks for your videos.
Here in the states we call them ‘whip’ drills because if you pull the trigger without supporting them they will flex as they spin and begin to whip. Can be dangerous but they are invaluable for reaching in to drill straight accurate rivet holes. I believe the correct nomenclature is Extension Drill
Cheers for that, have not seen one till I started watching this channel a few years ago but never noticed how much they flex till the last restoration video
The amount of money this project consumes week in week out is unfathomable....so many people work on a full time basis, plus the cost of materials. Happily progress looks to be being made at a far faster rate than some other projects.
Many are volunteers I guess. … only a guess though. I read on their website that the Lincs Aviation heritage centre is a privately owned and run museum. Perhaps a not for profit charity… & no longer directly owned within the Panton family.? I’m sure someone could enlighten us as the website is asking for donations.
Chris makes me giggle 'friday afternoon crew' but it's true, i imagine, today there is more skill and love put into these planes then there ever would have been during the war, i bet the staff were given a box of parts, and told fit them, never mind if it was the correct number, get 'em fitted of course some of us in the know, might know the life expectancy of a Lanc might have only been three weeks or what ever it was supposed to be (wondered if they knew that back then), i remember seeing it reported in comparison to a Tornado IDS (yep that far back) which i think was something like 2-3 days, because of the advances in technology, probably down to seconds by now i'll ask the silly question, Dave is using a very long drill, WHY? is this simply to able to view past the drill and see where your drilling, and with the flexibility, drills a better hole in the correct place without distorting a hole with a more rigid short drill bit

Hi nev. The job takes as long as it takes. There's still the cockpit to do yet and that'll take the longest I'll bet. Keep up the good work everyone 😊

Surprising how much you become familiar with parts of an aircraft, after watching your videos.

I`ve asked on a couple of occasions why say, the nose section is taking so long to do? Weeks go by and a couple of panels per week.

Thanks Neville. Appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this content for us. :-)
Many thanks once again Nev for another cracking video.Please keep them coming.Take care mate.
Another great update bro, gee those long drill bits have a lot of flex in them, never noticed that before. Safe travels. Ken.

Thank you for the update Neville, hopefully we will see the splitting of the fuselage soon and the fitting of the new rear fuselage and turret
Great update Neville!
As always Nev, a great post and progressing well.

Top stuff as always.
Cheers for the update Nev! John is such a talented engineer..!
Thanks, Nev.
The fuselage section is making great progress.
Thank you on “NAAFI” - similar consolidation in the US. Excellent video.
A meaning used by many servicemen was "No Ambition And F all Interest"

Thanks Nev.
👍🇺🇦🏴
Why do they use such a long drill bit?
Chris makes me giggle 'friday afternoon crew'
but it's true, i imagine, today there is more skill and love put into these planes then there ever would have been during the war, i bet the staff were given a box of parts, and told fit them, never mind if it was the correct number, get 'em fitted
of course some of us in the know, might know the life expectancy of a Lanc might have only been three weeks or what ever it was supposed to be (wondered if they knew that back then), i remember seeing it reported in comparison to a Tornado IDS (yep that far back) which i think was something like 2-3 days, because of the advances in technology, probably down to seconds by now
i'll ask the silly question, Dave is using a very long drill, WHY? is this simply to able to view past the drill and see where your drilling, and with the flexibility, drills a better hole in the correct place without distorting a hole with a more rigid short drill bit
Looks like it’s ice station zebra in the hangar……with all those coats on…..! 😂😂😂😂
Whilst in the service NAAFI was No Ambition And F*CK All Interest😂

Ironic some parts are being machined in Germany.
I get you are trying to make good content and you do. But sometimes you spend way too much time on one area.
