Hi Neville . Andrew certainly knows his onions ! And my goodness ! There's a lot to know ! Thankyou

[@diabolicalartificer]

Thanks as always Nev for taking the time to make these video's, it's very much appreciated. Your video's give an insight into the mammoth task they are facing to get the Lanc airworthy. It's not just the actual restoration itself, but it must take an immense amount of paper work & accreditation too.

Thank you for these restiration tour videos Neville, do you know if there were any plans to do any chromate conversion on the aluminium parts to add another layer of protection as well as the paint ?

[@bigmac60]

Thank you Nev.

[@ajg617]

Great set of videos Neville. What about the starboard wing? I don't think I've heard a timeline for that or has that already been restored?

[@simongroot7147]

Andrew's analogy of steel ship building rivets is slightly inaccurate. The steel rivets used in ship building are heated not to get them soft enough to form but to provide the clamping force. Having it hot makes it easier to form but they can be formed cold. However forming them in the plates only generates closing force on the rivet. When it is heated, it expands and as it cools it contracts, greatly increasing the force generated in the rivet and making the joint water tight. The lower booms are in tension only when flying, when the aircraft is on the round they are under compression. The converse is true of the upper booms.

How much longerrrr is it going to take to rebuild it you been at it a long long time now ?

[@kevincollins1060]

Basically it’s really a new build aircraft. How’s about everything taken off is used to build another Lancaster

[@davidmartyn5044]

How much would that cost in labour alone?

[@kevincollins1060]

@ who cares but it is an accurate comment
