I spent nearly an hour wading through thick foliage to get these pictures and my boots were filled with seeds and leaves by the time I'd finished. The aircraft dump at the China Aviation Museum, Xiaotingshan. Link to more below.

I noticed the Nanchang CJ-6 "dressed" as an F-84 Thunderjet is looking more dilapidated than as seen on Airliners.net...

Boots full of Chinese long grass! Let's put it this way; there won't be an Il-10 getting airworthy in New Zealand skies in the forthcoming years.
