Thanks for the update Neville. A very interesting video again. Lads all hard at work. Brilliant job boys. What a lovely tribute you gave to BBMF pilot Sqn Ldr Mark Long at the end of the video. Really moving. Such a sad loss of such a wonderful man. God bless him and may he rest in eternal peace. Lest we forget. Per Ardua Ad Astra. Sending my deepest sympathy to his family at this sad and difficult time. Until your next update Neville I wish you and everyone there at the museum all the best. Take care. 👍
Great video Neville thank you and indeed tribute to Sqd.Ldr Mark Long. Sincere condolences to all is family and friends. RIP Mark in the knowing that you will never be forgotten.
Great tribute to the BBMF pilot, very emotive thank you. On a lighter note, regarding that laser aligning tool, it would be a mistake as you dont want something that's less accurate than Gerbs...
I’m sure Neville will correct me, but my understanding is the 10 year time frame has been abandoned. Due to it taking much longer to restore major parts like the wings etc. Plus financing the project has become more difficult in recent years. It’s more a case of it’ll be done, when it’s done. 🙂
Hi Chipmonk, the ten year time frame (schedule) has been canceled it not realistic, no one can give a date for completion I think you may be looking at a minimum of 7 more years this is my guess.
I was very shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of Sq/Ldr Long last week. Thank you Neville for the touching tribute to him and also for the rest of your video detailing, as always, the fine work undertaken at East Kirkby.
Hi nev. Can't believe I missed u on the 25th. What a great day but very sad in the end it was. We came back on Thursday to sign the book of condolence as well. It great to meet a couple of the lads and see the work they are doing as well.
A fitting tribute to Squadron Leader Mark Long and a reminder that aviation is not without risk. Sadly that is what makes it such an amazing career. Managing risk. Take care folks.
Shocked to hear of the Spitfire accident and the loss of the pilot. As other people have said, fine tribute at the end of the video. Good to see Spen back, used to be a regular way back when! What is so wrong with the Mosquito?
i can well imagine the test kit required for some of the equipment used throughout the years by the RAF and associated parties maintaining equipment externally - i did some work with a museum some years back and saw the test rigs used in conjunction with the EE Lightning, i think there is one similar rig next to the Lightning at Hendon, might be wrong, could be else where but someone will know what i'm talking about of course much equipment is superseded out with the old valve stuff and in with the new digital stuff, but i do know a few guys who will often build there own equipment to test stuff and are pretty good at it, but i guess when you require reliability and certification, it's better to send stuff away, all about money and who to wag fingers at when things go wrong great tribute to Mark Long, blue skies
I find the B-17 interesting - thank you for showing. How owns/operates it ? Also, that there are qualified mechanics in Britain to work on the Wright 1830 - four of which provide the motive power for the B-17, and your B-25 if you ever want to get that flying. Thank you for an activity-packed video. RIP RAF Sqd Leader Mark Long.
Hi HH, the Centre are having two engine serviced in USA for the B-25, and yes there are mechanics to do the work in the UK. Check out the B17 www.sallyb.org.uk/
Hello Neville, hope your ok and in good health, you've not posted for two weeks, probably on holiday or sunk due to all the rain we've been having in Lincs. All the best....DA.
Mr. Wheeldon. Is there a resource that explains which each part of the restoration project is which. Just Jane, the French Lancaster etc. I'm not sure what the parallel projects are, how they inter-relate and what the completion dates are. Know what I mean?
The Rivet Club provides a great explanation of which parts are from which aircraft etc. You will have to make small donation each month to receive the newsletters, but it is money well spent and all funds go towards a worthy cause.
A simple graphic, perhaps one of you “in the know” can create one. If I’m right, there is a Lanc “Just Jane”, a ground-runner that is being restored over a decade to flight-worthy status. Incorporating parts from a French Lancaster. So, my questions are: will Just Jane fly. Will the French Lanc be the ground runner? What are the time frames to completion? Any body out there who knows?
Hi Ron , check out Video 225 first and then 227 these are talks by Andrew the director for the restoration, they cover why and what they are doing with the restoration.
Hope you are ok Neville. Missing your brilliant video's.
Hi mark , yes i'm ok thank you,had 10 days visiting our son on the south coast.next video on the 22nd of June.
@@nevillewheeldon1693 Have a good and relaxing visit !!!

Thanks, Nev.
Hello Neville, hope your ok and in good health, you've not posted for two weeks, probably on holiday or sunk due to all the rain we've been having in Lincs. All the best....DA.
Hi mate,yes i'm ok, 10 days visiting our son on the south coast yes 22nd will be my next video .Thanks for your concern.
@@nevillewheeldon1693 Glad your ok, even youtubers deserve a break, take care.
To fly west, my friend is a flight we all must take for a final check. (Author unknown) Rest in Peace.
The electric’s seem to a lark jigsaw. Just Jane seems to coming on very well. RIP Mark.
Hi nev are you still uploading videos of jj restoration I didn't see last week's video 😢
Hi Chris , had 10 days visiting our son on the south coast should have video ready 22nd of June.
Neville was this the B17 that was in the hangar at East Kirkby
Only the Lancaster NX611 and Mosquito live in the hangar,the B17 that displayed lives at the Imperial War Museum,Duxford.
There`s a B-25 in the hanger at East Kirkby. There are several videos in Neville`s playlist about it.
No Chris that's the B-25.
Neville was Phil, the guy doing the door frame, in the Royal Air Force? I recognise him but unsure where our paths have crossed?
Hope you are ok Neville just wondering as we have t seen you for a couple of weeks since this video went out?
Hi Chris, yes i'm ok, just had 10 days visiting my son on the south coast. Will have a video for next saturday June 22nd. Thanks for your concern.
Glad to hear that you are well Neville, I was a bit concerned that something untoward had happened when your regular updates did not appear.
@@bliss661 Cheers Pliss.
Iam curious why the Lancaster wreak in Sweden has not been recovered NF-920 and re used
I may be wrong, but of all the guys working on Just Jane, Keith always seems reluctant to talk to you and explain what he is doing. Am I wrong?
Mr. Wheeldon. Is there a resource that explains which each part of the restoration project is which. Just Jane, the French Lancaster etc. I'm not sure what the parallel projects are, how they inter-relate and what the completion dates are. Know what I mean?
The Rivet Club provides a great explanation of which parts are from which aircraft etc. You will have to make small donation each month to receive the newsletters, but it is money well spent and all funds go towards a worthy cause.
Neville always quotes which parts are from which Lancaster,either NX611 or NX664.
