Don ChanIn early 2010, the Shang Hai Hang Yu Zhong Xin (Shang Hai Aerospace Centre) restored a retired PLAN Q-5 82254 displayed at the Tong Ji University.
Despite the cold winter, the pathetic condition of the Q-5, and other difficulties and requirements, the staff worked on-site for two weeks, and delivered it on 25 January 2010.
Back in 2007, the Centre restored a retired MiG-15 at the Fu Dan University.
