Three Uni-Top B742Fs are presently stored near the end of Wuhan's runway 22L. I was fortunate in that Air France let me use the empty business-class cabin to catch some photos of them as we took off, as there were no other right-hand window seats free.

Rather like when the state-controlled Aeroflot was broken up with the demise of the USSR, one of the benefits for the enthusiast travelling in China is discovering airlines that you'd barely if ever heard of - Kunming-based Ruili was one such example for me. Such is the nation's burgeoning airline industry that they already have 18 737NGs, including this ex-Air Berlin example, and have 737MAXs and 787s on order.

Another branch of the huge Hainan Airlines empire, Urumqi Air was set up to serve the western Xinjiang province in 2015. An AVIC ARJ-21 regional airliner in their colours was among three at the Zhuhai Airshow on the trade days at the beginning of the week, but unfortunately they departed before I had an opportunity to capture them.

China Southern are by some margin the biggest operator at Zhuhai. Despite the proximity of Macao and Hong Kong, it is quite a busy airport even by Chinese standards.

Of a fleet currently approaching 500, about a quarter of China Eastern's equipment consists of Boeing 737s. Arguably the old colour scheme, still to be seen on a few aircraft in 2018, was more attractive than this rather simple branding.

Now here is something extraordinary. This aircraft was written off in a landing accident at Fuzhou in 2015, a search using the registration showing many descriptions of the incident and photos of the wings twisted off amongst other serious damage. It must have had a major rebuild with a lot of new structure.
