I was talking with Bob Ogden some 4 years back when he was here in NZ just before I went to China. He gave me directions to find the P61 which was in an educational institute of some sort. By the time I got to Beijing Dao had just died and the natives were very titchy. I couldn't get access to the place.

Bo'b story was that he arrived at the gates of the place and the guard didn't speak english and while he was trying to get through to him a student rode up and intervened. She sorted things out and told Bob (who was on foot) to watch her directions as she rode off on bike as she was late to class. As she rode off she gestured down a side road and Bob went here and found a large building. Mysteriously a guy appeared with the keys and let him in and there was the P61.

Since then I've seen several pix such as the one on the link which suggest the aircraft has moved and is obviously now outside or is it vaguely possible there are two?????

Its a great place for generating speculation such as the pseudo mossie as Da Tan Shan (or whichever translation you prefer!)
