CHINA AVIATION MUSEUM FEBRUARY 2002

John has just finished some work in China.
He took some time out to visit the China Aviation Museum & had a chance to take some photographs.
This is the first installment taken outside.
We haven't identified all of them yet, but will welcome help in that regard,
just email us please with the correct names.
The thumbnails are much smaller this time to help load time.
(Many thanks to Brian Patrickson for his help in identifying some of these aircraft.)
