Default Not the Chairmans Plane

After a little research, I have found out that the above aircraft was not Chairman Mao's private plane. The photographed Trident in front of a mall in Zhuhai was one of 3 Trident's that were boght by the Chinese government.

However, the Chairman did have his own private plane which I am still trying to find the make and model. So far I can make out the interior which would be quite large and the exterior has a shot of the nose and big ole radial engine, kind of like a DC-6 with only 2 engines..

Yeah, but does it come with floor mats and a pair of little red slippers hanging from the whiskey compass?
