Hi Guys, I've uploaded pictures I took at the fabulous China Aviation Museum, Xiaotangshan, Beijing on my Flickr account. The museum is huge and is recognised as one of the best aviation museums in the world. It certainly lived up to its popularity on the two days I went; the place was packed; I'd never seen such a big museum filled with so many people! I had my photo taken with quite a few people there; for some reason as non-Chinese, we become celebrities and have to be prepared to be acosted by strangers wanting to spend time with us. Very unnerving to begin with, but by the end of a long day, a common occurrence. Anyway, unfortunately, the tunnel under the artificial mountain full of aircraft was closed, as was the indoor exhibition hall, but not to be perturbed, the sheer volume and diversity of aircraft outside made up for not viewing these places.
As yet I've not labelled the pictures as I want to make sure I get the aircraft designations right; there are a few attempts around, but by and large they suffer from inaccuracies. A few images:
