I felt immensely proud of myself when I managed to paint a door without making too much of a mess last week so I don't envy the job Lincolnshire's Aviation Heritage Centre have got in front of them.
Today they're beginning the process of giving the Lancaster Bomber Just Jane a fresh lick of paint and they've already stripped it back to bare metal in preparation:
Image source, Silksheen PhotographyIt's going to cost around £20,000 to repaint and will take a week to complete.
General Manager - Andrew Panton - says it hasn't been seen like this for quite sometime:
Quote MessageIt's been about 40 years since the old layer of paint was applied and it's had about six layers on top since then. So it's been quite a job getting the old paint off and it'll certainly be a big job getting the new coat on but it's all being done by professionals.

A generally cloudy morning with some early brightness possible.
Thickening cloud will bring some showery outbreaks of rain, during the afternoon, from the southwest. It'll be heavy in areas as well, especially in higher parts.
If that wasn't bad enough we've got some brisk winds too which will be at their strongest at the coast.
