Western Warbirds in China?

No problems – I put some of those aircraft on a thread (just search for datangshan museum) looks like I had better weather as well but the amount of time I had there was about the same. Started off as walk click walk click ended up as run click run click as there is just so much to see and photograph. Mao’s Il18 was not open until I was too far away though but it is an excuse to go back sometime.

Thanks for the offer Paul. It was mainly the B-29esk a/cs that were of interest to me and the main reason for visiting. Facinating place. I was the only visitor in the 2 hours I was there!!

And does anything remain of the Belgian registered Stirling V that crashed post war at Kunming………………….:diablo:

There was this guy on the forum who knew a lot about the… Hmmm. Were did he go…? :rolleyes: 😉

APC104,

I went to that museum last year – my pics from the tunnel did not come out too badly if you want a copy of them.

Sorry, “no one knows anything about anything…”?

AVG P40

has John Blackburn’s AVG P40 been recovered from Lake Dianchi in Kunming yet – or is that the one pictured?

A couple of relevant shots. Didn’t have a tripod so the inside shots were practically a write-off.

So no one knows anything about anything over in China… I’m sure something will come out of the wood work over the years to come.

I cannot help with Spitfires, but don’t forget the genuine P-47 and P-61 at the museum in the Beijing suburbs, which I last saw in 2004.

Dave.. the P-40 is a replica (Code named 77 i believe) I’m looking for a pic now

any pics to share APC?
Spits & Hurri both went to Russia
