To find people who are passionate about what they do is a wonderful thing. Neville is among a workshop full of them. Soak it up people, it's infectious.
Nice to see her moving under her own engines. Brilliant Neville.
Thanks Neville. Great update. The guys have done such an incredible job to get Jane to where she is now. They really are an amazing group of people and such a credit to the museum and to this restoration. Well done guys. So beautiful to see her doing her taxi runs again and to hear those merlin engines. Very touching indeed and how moving it was at the end of your video showing all the brave men who had served at East Kirkby who lost their lives along with all the other airmen for our freedom. We will remember them. Lest we forget. Thank you again Neville for all the time that you put into these updates. Best wishes to you and all the guys at the centre.Take care. 👍
I had a childhood of reading The Lancaster at War, Enemy Coast Ahead, Lancaster Target and watching The Dambusters, punctuated by visits to The Australian War Memorial to see G for George. To have this project to watch every Sunday morning with a mug of tea is the stuff of dreams. It's great to see Jane really getting towards flying again. Brilliant work Neville.
A really poignant end to the video, really brings it home what this (soon to be) flying memorial is all about. Thanks Neville.
Over 80 years old, what a magnificent airplane.
Thanks Neville. I echo the comment about the closing shot of the list of airmen lost from East Kirkby, and the number of RCAF, RANZF, RAAF aircrew included. I would truly love to come and pay my respects to my countrymen from past generations that died defending our country.
I was at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum on Sept 24 1988 for the first flight of our Lancaster C-GVRA (RCAF FM 213, construction number 3414). It was incredibly emotional and although I've seen Vera many times since that one flight sticks in my mind. It's hard to believe something that large can actually be graceful. She flies in honour of Pilot Office Andrew Charles Mynarski VC, RCAF, who heroically gave up his chances for survival while trying to rescue a crew mate trapped in a burning turret.
Nothing more evocative than a Merlin quartet ! good luck everyone involved and thanks not too long before she can fly hopefully.
Now that is a MIGHTY AIRCRAFT
Absolutely marvellous, thanks.
On the Memorial Board at the end, I spotted my wifes aunts brother-in-law, Sergeant F.S.G.Reeves. Thank you so much for filming this and sharing it with us.
Absolutely fantastic, hi from Aust🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great ending! In a few years NX611 will be complete, and at full power, the pilot will say BRAKES OFF and JJ will take to the skies......
Another excellent video Neville, many thanks!
Beautiful Neville, just loved the quality and poignancy of the end. 10 out of 10.❤️
Thanks Neville. It's always a pleasure watching your videos!
Hello Neville. Congratulations on another lovely update. I love all of your videos, but each year, the first one of the season when engines run again for the first time always brings a tear to my eyes ! Two reasons - each time this happens she is a step further to air worthiness, but also very poignant especially in this report, the men who gave their lives for us. We will never be able to give enough thanks, but this project goes a small way to doing that. Well done to all involved, and to you Neville for allowing us to share this with you ! Thank you !
This baby just wants to fly.
Glad to here the Merlins humming again!
Wonderful to see her come to life again after her hiatus
Superb video and very emotive , when those Merlins fired up just imagine how many young men did this and never returned ,same for the USAF with the 17s,24s, RIP brave souls
Brilliant stuff Nev, even at taxi speed its awesome
Thanks again Neville. Excellent video and a touching tribute. :-)
Magnificent machine when you see her move again. Lest we forget.
A beautiful sound and sight. Thank you Neville mate 👍 👍 👍
Excellent work. Fantastic ending 🇬🇧.
Lovely!. Nothing soo evocative as four Merlins running at full power!. Nice touch at the end. Lest we forget!. 🙂
special end to the video ! keep up the good work one and all . thankyou .
Ol Dave is so funny with some of the things he says. The lads are doing a great job and i look forward to everyone of your videos Nev many thanks mate. Take care and thankyou once again.
Thank you, Neville, that was lovely!
Ayup Nev, that were reet gradely..well done to all the team and thy sen.👍❗️
Goosebumps moment every time.i cant help it.
Thank you for the update Neville, nice to hear Jane again
Well Neville another great video but this time you have suppressed yourself with the lest will forget names and JJ superimposed l had a lump in my throat and a tear with just JJ engines running l take my hat off to you sir well done 👏 can’t wait to see JJ fly was just thinking do l need to buy my ticket now to see JJ take to the sky that special day😊
A great video as always Neville, always great to see the progress being made, whether it be big or small . Thanks for all your videoing work you do to keep us informed.
Another awesome video. Keep them coming Neville, because you are an amazing man having such dedication to this wonderful project.
Incredible amount of work. Well done.
Oh god, I love that girl. Massive well done to all involved, indeed lest we forget.
Beautiful.
Very big day for Just Jane.
Great update Neville thank you. Good to see Jane back to Taxiing Status and now Janes nose section starting to be restored back to Airworthy.
In 1956 at RAF El Adem Tobruk There was a broken down Lancaster, The RAF boys made a good job of getting it ready to fly back to England. I don’t remember if it actually got there.
Good stuff s always Nev....Thanks 👌
Great to see but I wish there was a De Havilland mosquito still flying in the UK….often forgotten but perhaps one of the UK’s most successfully planes during WW2.
Great video as always neville 👏👏
Thanks, Nev.
Another great update bro, still waiting for the TAXI sign to go on when it is out playing with engines running. Safe travels. Ken.
As always nice job Neville.
Magnificent !!
What are the plans when she is ready to fly again, will she take off from East Kirkby?
Yes. Way back in Neville`s playlist there a video what would be needed to accommodate and alter the runway for Jane to operate from East Kirkby.
@@davidmartyn5044 Thanks, I'll go look for that.
Brilliant video. Is the spinner off for the season?
With all this knowledge, jigs etc. Could you make a Lancaster from scratch?
I'm sure they could. Find a data plate and attach
Great video Nev as always. We're planning to come over to see JJ around 21/22/23 June. Are you going to present?
I think this has been one of the more challenging winter restorations Neville . It's awe inspiring and l guess at some stage the starboard wing will require the same attention ? Do you know why the port outer spinner is missing ? Thanks Neville .
Normally I don’t have a problem with the sound level but today I had to have the TV’s volume right up. I don’t think the noise of the air tools were entirely to blame as I could hardly hear what Neville was saying at the beginning of the video when he was outside waiting for the engines start up - no air tools there!
Wonder where the spinner off No1 engine is?
Nev for the first time l noticed the pilots canopy is a bit cloudy, take it that will be replaced before flight..
Somewhat confused… Are the component pieces that are featured going to be integrated into the taxable Lancaster airframe to produce and flying example. Or are they going to become part of a whole new airframe? Thanks for all the hard work putting these out.
Just Jane (NX611) is being restored to airworthy condition. To enable that to happen various other museums are loaning parts to be restored to taxiable condition so that they can be fitted on a temporary basis in Just Jane. Once Janes parts are completed the loan parts will be returned to the source.
Thanks again Nev. how much fuel does the Lancaster burn through on a taxi run? Must be a good few gallon.
Enjoyed the video but could hardly hear a word that people were saying
It's a very noisy workshop, air tools in particular are very loud ,
Is there actually anything original left of is it just Triggers brush
Is KB976 capable of being restored to taxi condition, once NX611 is finished, so that you will still be able to still do the taxi runs? Once the runway is extended to allow the Lanc to fly in and out, that would, if KB976 is externally complete, if only static, allow a future 3 lancasters to display in an athentic ww2 setting, if PA474 were to pay a visit
I am not a fan anymore of flying war birds. They become too prescious, too rare, too dangerous. I’d prefer the run ups and a wee bit of acceleration butnot actually flying.
