The fact that Neville has taken this task upon himself and bothers the workers into submission, it always pleases me when the guys do their part and give the input to the video, it makes such an impact on the final result.
Cheers Barry.
Neville, these are a valauble record of the project's progress - a big thank you!
Cheers Trevor.
Love the longer videos, Neville! All coming back together now. Great info on the turrets.
Cheers David.
Great stuff Neville. Thanks for finding out how much ammo was available and how it was split across the boxes. Incredible the amount of rounds the guns could get through in such short bursts. Good to see Jane back on her wheels again. The lads have done such an amazing job to get her to where she is now and I'm sure it won't be too long before she is ready for the busy season ahead. When you think they only had a short window from the end of the previous season to the start of this one and just look at what they have achieved yet again. They are an incredible bunch of lads and well done to all of them for all the time and effort they have put into this program. Thank you as always Neville for all of your valuable videos you bring us each week. Spot on. Looking forward to youyr next update. Best wishes to you and everybody at the centre. Take care. 👍
Thanks Andy
Great video Neville - excellent progress!
Cheers Charles.
Hi Neville, Checking in from California keeping up on the task. Thank you Very much for the videos to keep me connected to Blighty! (Ex RAF Armourer here btw) Cheers !
Good to keep hearing from you Hugh.
Ta Nev! I really appreciate your dedication and enthusiasm!
Cheers TFF.
I always look forward to the weekend for another Nev video to drop. I love seeing the project progress as the team does get a lot of stuff done even in a week; learning as they go, fabricating jigs, templates, molds etc. the next Lanc will get done speedy quick 😊

Just great to see it coming back together again even if it's only for a short while, these guys are brilliant. One day, one, day in the future !
Yes Leo, one day.
Thankyou Nev for this wonderful video the port wing looks great the lads have done a super job on it.The trailing edge jig looks so much better now well done John.Take care mate and thanks again for all of your videos.
Cheers Mike.
Great video Neville as always, over the past two years since I started watching I feel as if I've become part of the team. Keep it up team! 😀
Cheers Keith.
Great update again Neville, thank you. Good progress being made by the Team. Well done all.
Cheers John.
I see a pattern over the years, of y’all re-inventing the assembly procedures in many cases - from an assembly line with thousands of workers, to a boutique shop with individual craftsman. I point to the discussion you captured by Dave, about, “Will see if I can fit the inner (former), and add the outer (flange) in situ.” Wonderful capture.
Thanks HH.
Excellent progress being made. Thank you again Neville - top work.
Cheers Pepsicolauk.
There’s been a fair bit of lateral thinking on that trailing edge section jig! 😁👍
Hi Steve more photos coming to light on the Jigs from 1940s.
@@nevillewheeldon1693 Thanks Neville - that will be very interesting. 👍
Thanks, Nev.
Cheers Malcolm.
Another great video bro and some good progress too. The NZ guys have another Mosquito completely restored back in the air after a 70 year gap. NZ2308, there is some Utoob videos of it from this month. Safe travels. Ken.
Hi Ken yes ,2 videos I watched of the Mosquito looks better then great. One from Dunedin south Island.
Yeah I think the one from Dunedin was put in a shed after the war. There was one that was bought for 10 pounds after the war by a farmer as a static play thing for is young son, think that was in the South Island too.
Thanks again Neville, see look like see will be ground running by the end of April?😊
Three engines tested last Friday 19th.Ivor
Getting there slowly. I see the kiwis have done another mossie that flys. Not clipped. Yay
Yes it looks great.Cheers Dale.
Thank you Neville, good update, look after yourself 👍
Cheers David
Another great video, thanks Neville. I agree, that former Dave is making looks far too small to get through
It does James.
Thanks again Neville
Cheers Adrian.
My word Neville ! There's a terrific amount of work yet to do to have this ready for Easter ? As l would assume that would be the start of the season .? Thanks Neville
Hi John, They put the start of the taxi runs back till May 7th.
Thank you for the update Neville, I wonder if you could ask the guys if there was ever a plan to try and fit 0.5 brownings into the front or mid upper turrets as well as the rear turret to up arm the Lancaster ?
I will ask Ade and Andy next time I'm at EK. Cheers Garry
Were you able to photograph the MAINS being retracted while still on the jacks?
Hi Richard, they never tried to retract the wheels. They will have a different undercarriage fitted when she's ready to Fly.
Brilliant updates. But often the audio is diabolical and hard to work out.
I Malcolm , sorry, it is a problem. I'm still working on it.
Great information again Neville. Always look forward to the updates. I have a question for you Neville! Have you heard about any information on the Bomber County Memorial that’s allegedly to rival the Angel of the North for Stature?
Oddly enough I saw something about that yesterday. They're raising the last 80K to finish the project.
Only what SC heard. The plinth has been complete for a couple of years on the A46 road just in side the Lincolnshire boundary

Thank you for the info Neville. I will sure and go and have a look. 👍
Amazing work but 7 years ?
That the way it goes gowdsake7103.
What do they do with all the unserviceable parts that have been replaced Neville? I’m sorry as I have asked before but can’t remember if anyone has answered. On one hand if they are scrapped it’s like throwing away the original aircraft but it has to be done I guess they would use the scrap value to help fund the project .
Maybe they should sell off some of the parts to collectors , “own an original part of NX611” and turn other pieces into souvenirs? I bought a piece of skin from FM212 which is in Winsor, in Canada.
Pretty sure they sell scrap parts. I saw a Merlin camshaft for sale in the gift shop!
I believe they have not decided what to do with them yet ,some have been used on the French dona parts
Pretty complex task....
Sure is mate.
