Beautiful restoration. Those Merlin’s wake up so smartly,unlike radials coughing and farting. My hats off to the crew that are doing all the work...tons of dedication!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Boy, She looks so good out in the grass! Must have been a great feeling of relief and accomplishment for the crew to see her strut around and know it's due to their hard work and dedication. Great job everyone! Another good job of keeping us all in the know Neville - Thanks!
I was so priveliged to see the Canadian Lancaster come to the UK and subsequent flights of them both together at air shows. I hope we get to see THREE of these beautiful old ladies fly together as a wing! I truly hope the Canadians will return to to do this. Our aircrews deserve the tribute of all the work these people do, all my hopes are with you - from a retired RAF aircraft fitter. My old Land Rover is ex RAF shes 51! Theres no laboured cranking of these Merlins - these are BRITISH and go 'on the button'! The pride that went into every single rivet that went into aircraft during the war and still continuing. I must make the long trip back to 'Bomber County' to pay my respects sadly the station I did my 'suare bashing' at is now a retail park :...(.. Per Ardua Ad Astra Just Jane!! Want to know what a NEW Lancaster looked like kids........there ya go! What must it have sounded like with HUNDREDS of these taking off..........?
Many thanks for all the effort you have put in to film all this Neville. In the future this may all become a historical document, once again my thanks. Jim
You guys did great my late uncle would be proud sqn 51 I feel your pride I saw as you work that’s the same spirit that they had way back ww2 well done all 🇦🇺👍❤️👋
You should have taken to the local pub and had a pint and then back to the air drone. I love to hear the sound of those Rolls-Royce Merlin engines. they have a sound all their own. That is a Beautiful paint job on it. Thanks for the video. Good luck with it.
Thank goodness for skilled and dedicated men and women like these , their work brings enjoyment and history to many ..What an incredible place the centre is ...Where are these engines obtained from today , is a company manufacturing them or are they restored? .
Wow never gets old Witnessed live the start up of 2 engines on the Lancaster in Nanton Alberta Canada a Lanc that wont be flown but restored to static running condition and a plane that I played in back in the late fifties as it sat abandoned
I hope younger men are being trained to carry out every aspect of maintenance and repair of these magnificent machines? Otherwise the day will come when there's no one left alive to do so.
You're doing a wonderful service! much appreciated by a Lanc-loving Antipodean. What's the story on the forward fuselage of the silver Lanc? Does it have a future at some stage, or is it being used for parts?
That bare aluminum nose section in the background is from a Canadian Lancaster fuselage. What’s the story on that one? From where did you acquire it? How did it come to be in England?
My uncle was killed in a Lancaster, call sign LM619 in 1945, these planes should be kept flying including the Vulcan, money is no object to some people an governments these babes are History.
Sorry meant to add @ 11:35 that other Lancaster nose section reminded me of a volunteer team like yourselves at the British Columbia Aviation Museum who traced an identical aircraft that was in bits and had been in outside display. They shipped it to BC and I have been following their work as well. They had volunteers but as they intend to restore it to flying condition they had to go through a lot of training before they even started. Of course Canada has a special attachment to the Lancaster (as VERA proves) as many were built there and so many brave young Canadians (and Americans enlisted in the RCAF) flew them. This is their latest report but its worth looking further back on their channel to see where they started. th-cam.com/video/_uWcQjjrRKs/w-d-xo.html
Great job and fantastic dedication to a very worthy cause but they could have shaved a whole year just by getting the original "war ladies" to put it back together like they did back then.
Thanks once again Neville. This must be the moment when not only can you see what you've achieved but best of all.....hear it! Is there a more evocative sound ? probably, but can't think of any right now! Is there a reason why number 1 was not started? I'm sure some one must have said but l missed it, was it the fuel pipe?
Their in the 2nd year of a 10 year plan to make the Lancaster airworthy for a sustain period of time once completed. Such is explained in a previous video by Mr. Wheeldon th-cam.com/video/UsZporj8nQU/w-d-xo.html. Cheers!
Hi Malcolm LE represents 630 Sqd and DX=57 Sqd both stationed at East Kirkby in1940's the -H and -D In tribute to Harold and Fred Panton. Thanks for your comments and watching
I was there yesterday and managed to ask Andrew Panton the same question.. They had ordered a new fuel price pump part (fuel cock?) 10 months ago as they thought the one that fed Engine 1 was going to fail. It has, finally. They hope to get the new part in a few weeks so I imagine that engine will be back in action soon.
@@peterlancaster4876 Thanks. It is absolutely amazing they have gotten this far. I have helped restore a few warbirds and simple things can hold you up for years.
There is a certain American troll who thinks he's Irish who comes on these things to slag the British off. He's quite misguided and a bit funny in the head.
Beautiful restoration. Those Merlin’s wake up so smartly,unlike radials coughing and farting. My hats off to the crew that are doing all the work...tons of dedication!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers mate
The sound of those engines is beautiful, amazing job by all involved. Great videos. Cheers.
Thanks roddy222
May these planes never be forgotten and all who flew in them.

Thanks Neville, please keep them coming. To the people working on the aircraft - great job. Will come to the UK when she is due to take off.
Cheers Mike

Nice for the UK Lancs to fly to Canada for all the same reasons, too.
There are another two MKX Lancs being restored to flight in Canada, Alberta and BC. So how about four in flight!
My brother John working on Just Jane keep up the good work Lads (and Lasses) Mam & Dad would be proud!
Hi Lorna thanks for your comments. (I Will tell John)
I just can´t even imagine the feeling of being into that cockpit and starting those Merlins...!
Great? . Thanks for watching

How easy those engines start! Great job!

It’s a long way from Australia but I really must pay this place a visit.
Thank goodness for skilled and dedicated men and women like these , their work brings enjoyment and history to many ..What an incredible place the centre is ...Where are these engines obtained from today , is a company manufacturing them or are they restored? .
A WONDERFUL SOUND CONGRATULATIONS TO AII INVOLVED IN RESTORATION
Fantastic in aircraft.
Just beautiful !!!
Cheers walt
Many thanks for the updates and a massive shoutout to all involved
Cheers Ian
I'm going to have to watch this from the beginning it is so fascinating.
Thank you John
Wow never gets old Witnessed live the start up of 2 engines on the Lancaster in Nanton Alberta Canada a Lanc that wont be flown but restored to static running condition and a plane that I played in back in the late fifties as it sat abandoned
Hi Douge at least they're doing something with the old girl. thanks for your comments
That's a nice memory.
Beautiful ship!
You are right there.
Another brilliant film, thanks for posting.
Ok Mat
Looking good, sounding great.
I will not argue with that. Cheers Mike
Just so amazing to see
Cheers Gouglas
I'm a propeller repairman. I'd be honored to paint the yellow tips on the number 2 blade tips. 😍
Cheers mate
Those engines snap to in under four blades. Impressive.
Cheers Tim
This a great job restoring part of our history of war, but we just never ever learn from it
Sad. thanks for watching Gary
Thank You, another super video.
Magnificent. Thumbs up. I see a few residents of Hamburg have voted a few thumbs down.
Thanks for watching DBC
I hope younger men are being trained to carry out every aspect of maintenance and repair of these magnificent machines? Otherwise the day will come when there's no one left alive to do so.
We all just KNOW that lady would fly right now. I am sure they took off in the '40s in far worse condition. Well done all ...
Bomber command to honour in the Royal Air Force in memory to every member in crew to R. I. P.
You're doing a wonderful service! much appreciated by a Lanc-loving Antipodean. What's the story on the forward fuselage of the silver Lanc? Does it have a future at some stage, or is it being used for parts?
John Clarke see answer below to Brian Green..
the silver avro lancaster in the background is a avro lancaster mk 10 built by victory aircraft malton toronto ontario
She's there .Get her flying .
If it was only as simple as that Richard. Thanks for watching
Respect....
What's the story of the Lanc nose section in the background ?
As ever, thanks for taking the time to film and upload the progress.
As I remember it's an original nose section - KB976 - built up by the owner Jeremy Hall into a replica forward fuselage. See www.avro-lancaster.org.
😚👍
That bare aluminum nose section in the background is from a Canadian Lancaster fuselage. What’s the story on that one? From where did you acquire it? How did it come to be in England?
love the video
Thank you Ron
number 4 didn't sound completely happy. Mixture?
My uncle was killed in a Lancaster, call sign LM619 in 1945, these planes should be kept flying including the Vulcan, money is no object to some people an governments these babes are History.

Excellent bro, is the Mosquito locally restored or another done in NZ. All the best
Ken Allen here's some info www.lincsaviation.co.uk/news/latest-news/mosquito-arrives.htm
Great job and fantastic dedication to a very worthy cause but they could have shaved a whole year just by getting the original "war ladies" to put it back together like they did back then.
Yes they would have enjoyed that.
Thanks once again Neville. This must be the moment when not only can you see what you've achieved but best of all.....hear it!

Fuel leak John
When is the maiden flight planned, do they add lead in the 100 octane avgas, it lubricates and cools the valves I believe.
The restoration programme is over 10 years the third year starts on November 4th 2019. Not sure on the avgas .Thanks for watching.
Nice One Neville
Thanks Patrick
Great video as usual ,so when can we expect her to take to the air
Hi daystatesniper01 a 10 year restoration programme , the 3rd year starts in November 2019. About seven years?
Incredible Well done... why didn´t you fire on the left outer motor ?
Vid mentioned a fuel problem on engine no1 - I'm assuming that had something to do with it.
What's the story with no 1 engine?
Fuel leak ? . Thanks for watching
So how much work does she need before becoming airworthy?
Their in the 2nd year of a 10 year plan to make the Lancaster airworthy for a sustain period of time once completed. Such is explained in a previous video by Mr. Wheeldon th-cam.com/video/UsZporj8nQU/w-d-xo.html. Cheers!
I dont know why there is no four blades on thoses engine propeler like on the fighters.
Is that a ‘Lancastrian’ body in the back ground?
Mock up of the lancaster body, it come out on showdays so people can look inside. thanks for watching Gary
Is she being returned to full flight or will it be a taxi only plane?
Full flight Dan
Why does Just Jane have LE-H one side and DX-F on the other ?
Hi Malcolm LE represents 630 Sqd and DX=57 Sqd both stationed at East Kirkby in1940's the -H and -D In tribute to Harold and Fred Panton. Thanks for your comments and watching
Hi Malcolm LE- = 630 Sqd and DX- = 57 Sqd both stationed at East Kirkby in the 1940's. H and F for Harold and Fred Panton
Does anyone know the approx date of when shes likely to fly again? I'm sure I read a 10 year restoration??? So 8 more years to go?
James Dodd This is the second year so she should be flying in 8 years :)
Is/will this Lancaster be restored to flying condition?
YES in about seven years 2019
Seems odd they did not scan the Land.
I meant to write Lanc, with hand held scanners the entire aircraft could be done then the 17 foot radius mystery could be solved, cheers from Bangkok
Sorry to ask this and I bet you hear it a lot like to know if it’s been restored to fly
Yes seven years to go
What's the story on the nose from the Maritime Lanc in the backround?
It's only a mockup of the cockpit and fuselage. thanks for watching CV3. Sorry late replying.
Tremendous things: my Great Uncle was shot down in a KM-B (for Beer). 'Just Jane's perfect, & nice to see the swastika kill too.
Hi git Foad thanks for your comments and watching.
How is the return to flight certification going?
I'm just a visitor to the centre , I'l pass on that one ,7even years left of restoration. Thanks for watching
Problem with the port outboard engine?
I was there yesterday and managed to ask Andrew Panton the same question.. They had ordered a new fuel price pump part (fuel cock?) 10 months ago as they thought the one that fed Engine 1 was going to fail. It has, finally.

@@peterlancaster4876 Thanks. It is absolutely amazing they have gotten this far. I have helped restore a few warbirds and simple things can hold you up for years.
Is it can fly ? Passed ?
John Elliott not for another 8 years then she will fly
Why start only 3 engines
Fuel leak on No 1
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? LOL
