Thank you for the update Neville, here's to more videos in 2024

Great video bro and big thanks to Brad. Safe travels. Ken.

[@clairependrous4512]

Thank you Neville, another super video. Happy New Year to you and all.

[@jazzkazz]

Thank you Neville, and a Happy New Year to you. Your huge catalogue of NX611 restoration videos still has plenty to come - it's a wonderful tribute to the hard work of the team there 😊

[@dereklaw3686]

Thank you Neville, Happy New Year.🎉

[@andrewmurton8379]

Neville you are much more flexible than me so when you video the nooks and crannies these are places non of us will ever see, what a complicated machine the Lancaster is. Hope you had a super Christmas and happy new year, looking forward to the continuing progress reports.

[@marksingleton7199]

It just amazes me how light a construction took so much weight. Your videos will be a fantastic record of the planes story.

[@diabolicalartificer]

Thank you very much Neville for taking the time to make these video's. HNY.

[@pepsicolauk]

We're seeing things that are very rarely seen at all - keep up the excellent work.

[@James-N]

Its great seeing the guts of the machine as more and more gets stripped off, the "biscuit tin" autopilot was nothing like I expected. Thanks Neville

[@mikepocock575]

Another great video Nev thankyou. As Brad said all that work that was put into producing each aircraft and some only lasted one trip..wow. We owe a lot not only to the aircrew but the ground crew who often get forgotten but also to the production staff who made our aircraft. My thanks to all of them we will never forget them. Thankyou Nev for all your hard work in bringing us these videos,take care mate and thanks again.

[@richtaylor2129]

Thanks Nev!! Great video as always. Could that RME3330 number be related to her post war service with the French??

[@andybarratt0704]

Thanks Neville. It will be interesting to see if anyone can shed some light on what RME33330 is relevant to. Lets hope someone has the answer. You cannot believe how many Lancaster bombers were lost during the war. Over 3500. All those dear boys who gave their service for our freedom and for so many of them not to return home. God bless them all and we will never forget their sacrifice. It is such a wonderful thing the guys are doing restoring Jane to airworthy condition. An awful lot of man hours up to now and many more as we all know but what a sight it will be one day. Thank you as well Neville for all the videos you have brought into our homes every week. Watching the restoration as it progresses. Look forward to your next update. Best wishes to you as always and to all the guys at the centre.👍

[@lauriepocock3066]

yet another year of diligent recording of this unique project. WIshing you and the lads involved a happy and prosperous new year.

[@stuartlynn-q8q]

Complicated and amazing that aviation technology advanced so quickly

[@johnbradshaw354]

Great update thank you Neville. The construction of the aircraft in wartime conditions still amazes me with the quality in mass production during that time. Looking forward to seeing the New Year progress from the team.

[@johncrook7705]

Great many thanks. Already into the new year so all the best to the whole team and must say how much detail is required to get this wonderful plane is needed in to the air. So thanks to you and all your work.

[@davidlawrencebanks4610]

Thank you Neville good update, you take care now 👍👍

[@DavidCulshawmer-r]

what an interesting video , you dont realize how complex the Lancaster was until you see things like this 👍, those skilled craftsmen make an incredibly hard job look easy , happy new year Neville and a happy new year to all the crafts men making it all happen 👌😊

[@malcolmjames1866]

Thanks, Nev.

[@johndavey72]

Hello Nevile . Another great video from Nev' & Brad ' Productions ! I've quickly calculated a Lancaster would cost in the region of £2.3 million in todays values . To put this in perspective . A modern high performance missile cost's that at a minimum . However the human cost cannot be measured . I never met my uncle , he was a pathfinder pilot lost in action with his crew over Berlin . Thanks Neville .....and Bradley

[@terencepriestman317]

Thanks nev, happy new year

[@bigmac60]

Thanks Nev.

[@theflyingfool]

Thank you Nev!

[@jeffbarbara9188]

Thanks nev

[@PeterHickman-s1c]

Hello Neville Great videos you are making. They are very informative. Could the lettering and number on the pilots seat refer to the material specification? Happy new year to you and keep up the good work.

[@dale3852]

Very good as per nev.i wish I had more patience but is it just me hoping this time would hurry up for a certain generation 🧐

[@richtaylor2129]

I am guessing JJ will still have the twin control column like rhe BBMF & CWHM example when she is airworthy again

[@brianscott6171]

is that possibly initials and a service number?

[@dougbolton5503]

This is just a WAG (Wild A## Guess) - could it be a plate of 330 steel, 33 millimetres thick?

[@Peter.w]

Nev i bet that is something from either her time at scampton or with the French

[@happyhome41]

That was a little nausea-inducing motion in the video there getting back from the nose - could be edited. Excellent video to end the year, Sir Neville.

[@bigmac60]

If you can do any better. Have a go 😊

[@timeslip9]

'Those who can, do. Those who can't, criticise'. You do your best Neville, everyone can see and appreciate that 👍
