Hey, funny ... that's my image - ähhm, at least I cut it out and added the text. I think it was already posted a few pages before ... :p:p

However by now I'm no longer if these are four WS-20 or again only the engine cowlings open, since the shadow is quite narrow. :(

IMO you either put one on the IL-76 testbed for testing (which they already did), or put 4 on Y-20 to replace D-30. Not sure if it make sense to put 4 on the IL-76.

Following the latest rumour, these two Y-20s handed-over are numbered 11051 and 11053 !

Can't wait for images.

However, if true these numbers would indicate the 12th Regiment of the 4th Division Transport in Chengdu / Qionglai ... a former/current Y-7 unit:

2016年6月15日下午十八时三十分，某新型战略运输机首批交付部队服役仪式在中航工业某试飞中心圆满结束。这是我国空军正式开始具备强大战略投送能力的重要标志。壮观的水门庆典等现场图欠奉，敬请期待。

Hmmm; found at the CDF via =GT ... not sure if an old one, but it has at least no CFTE serial and =GT is usually highly reliable.

Y-20 service introduction 4. Div - 15.6.16 - 4 maybe.jpg
