Beijing & Shanghai

Visiting Beijing and Shanghai in the autumn on business, but with some leisure time planned in.

Can anyone advise me what there is to see in the way of vintage aviation and/or museums within easy reach please?

Museums in Beijing

Steve,

There are TWO museums there! The first is the Beijing Aeronautical Institute and the second is the China Aviation Museum at Changping, both within the Beijing district. At Shanghai there is the Shanghai Aviation Enthusiasts Centre.
Full addresses and listings of all aircraft are in Bob Ogden’s book,”Aircraft Museums & Collections of the World” Vol.1- ASIA, which is available from the Aviation Hobby Shop at West Drayton.

Cheers,

Albert(alias Adrian B)

Right, found the map (eventually!) – if anyone else is interested in a copy, let me know!

Somewhere on my computer at home I believe that I have a scanned map of the area showing the location of the museum. PM me if you’d like a copy e-mailing.
