    Hi Neville! The handrails in the nose section were painted yellow during wartime. There's a very good colour photograph showing the Woodford assembly line in mid-1943. When you zoom in, you can see the yellow handrail in the nose of the nearest Lancaster.

    Perspex is a trade name for acrylic.

    Well I never, I'd alsways guessed the transparent part of the dome was for something to do with the radar itself - and now I know better! Thank you Neville for all your patient hard work.

    I love each and every video you make Nev we learn so much from them. I seem to remember you saying in another one of your videos that someone said that having the radar cover all black was wrong,now we know why. The engineers are still making a cracking job of the Lanc may that continue.Again Nev thankyou so much for all your hard work keeping us informed,take care mate.

    Thanks for the update Neville. Very interesting again. We are learning something new every week aren't we. The guys continue to do such a fantastic job and there is no better sound than that of a busy workshop. Keep up the good work lads.Thank you Neville for all your time in recording the restoration as it moves forward and in doing so allowing us all to enjoy its progress each week. Spot on mate and looking forward to your next update. Best wishes to you and everyone there at the centre. Take care.👍👍

    Hey Neville, You are doing a marvellous job recording every bit of the restoration. Compliments, especially regarding your age. I, too, was wondering, why the rear part of the H2S radar dome was transparent, now I why, and looking back, it is clear: because the identification lamps have to be visible. Everyone involved in the restoration is doing his/her job; ecellent.

    Great video as ever Neville. I’ve noticed the clear part on the radar scanner dome many times in the past and often wondered about it. Your video has finally answered it. Thank you. Take care and keep well.

    Fascinating explanation of the H2S radar cover Nev. I've recently made this on my Little Staughton flight sim model, wondered why it was clear. H2S was a bit hit and miss, a very early ground mapping radar which could show coastlines, large buildings, bridges etc. All helped the nav to work out position. It's first ooperational use by a Mosquito was 109 Sqn at Little Staughton.

    Actually I wondered why the radome was clear but never thought to find out. Thanks Neville, I have mentioned your channel on a FB group dedicated to “The Lancaster” but the chap who runs it is a Lincolnshire man so has a great love for JJ ain’t particular. So hopefully you might get some extra followers from there.

    Thanks Nev, another informative video. Seeing the trailing edge in the jig raises a question: will they be able to use these jigs for the starboard wing? The starboard wing from NX664 is a bit of a mess and just wondering if restoring it would be made easier by taking these jigs/measurements and mirroring them for the starboard side? Can imagine it would be difficult to set the jig up correctly otherwise as the wing is starting from a much more bent and corroded position. Thanks again!

    • @nevillewheeldon1693
      @nevillewheeldon1693  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Andrew says they will be able to use the wing jig for both Port and Starboard sides with a modification. Cheers WCR.

    Another great video thank you for sharing Neville could a ask you to make a video about the solway Aviation museum in Carlisle they are trying to raise £60.000 to save the last surviving Blackburn Beverley the money will be used to dismantle XB259 lift it out of Fort Paull on Humberside (its current location ) and transport the sections to Carlisle Airport they will also use the funds to construct a base for the aircraft to sit on they need all the help they can get

    The earlier Lancaster handrails were painted red, yellow was adopted later in the war.

    Just out of interest. When the jig is set are all the measurements taken with modern equipment just in case. The work these chaps are doing is irreplaceable.

      Not sure on this Peter I no they use lasers for setting it up.
