You might be slightly under-estimating those Vickers workers, mike-wsm!
Fair enough - each assembly section had its seasoned experts but it was still quite an achievement to put a large aircraft together in 24 hours, especially considering the fabric doping procedure.A lot of flying/engine control & undercarriage rigging involved there as well.
I've done a bit of that on older aircraft - respect to those men and women
