Hi all,
an amazing breakfast was had downstairs at Langham Place before we met John Yellowcar for a 07:00 start. The breakfast selection was vast and I thought it was the best selection of the whole trip.

Anyhow John Yellowcar loves his coffee, so we had a quick stop at Terminal 2 to allow him to make space more coffee and put some more back in! This allowed us to log the following as we skirted Capital Airport…….

A7-MBK Airbus A320-232(CJ) Qatar Amiri Flight
B-2053 Boeing 777-21B China Southern Airlines
B-5178 Boeing 737-86N Air China
B-5447 Boeing 737-89L Air China
B-7591 Boeing 737-89P China EasternAirlines
SP-ZAK Bombardier Aerospace Global 5000

We all agreed that The Great Wall of China needed visiting and John Yellowcar recommended hitting the Mutianyu section nice and early as being a Sunday, it would get busy quickly. I think I speak for all of our group when I say it’s well worth tearing yourself away from the aircraft to do this – people will think you mad if they know you’ve gone to China and didn’t bother?

Well Oxford Aviation Group now has a tag in a gatehouse on the Wall and we managed one over the top on this cloudy morning…….by the time we got back down from the Wall and met John, the place was heaving with bloody tourists.

Back to Capital for a rest after the amazing China Aviation Museum at Xiaotangshan. We said goodbye to John Yellowcar and I can honestly say this guy couldn’t do enough for us. He was also very chatty throughout the two days and from him, we learnt a little bit about life in China.

If any of you reading these reports think about going to Beijing in the future, get in touch with him and let him do the driving, after all, he is the best driver in Beijing! 🙂 Like Moscow, it’s not a place you would really like to do it yourself. Tell him what you’d like to do via any of his contact methods below and he will get back to you quickly and with a price.

His website is: www.beijing-driver.com
His email is: [email protected]
His mobile number is: 0086 13611079697
His WhatsApp number is: 0086 13611079697
Find him on Facebook: John Yellowcar

In fact Garry Dunne was so happy with his service, that he used him (after we had gone home) for the tourist extension of this trip he was doing with his wife who had flown over. I think Garry’s spotting opportunities were heavily curtailed at that point 😉
