PPRuNe Forums Thread Wiki: Which Aerodrome Mk III
Please read: This is a community-maintained wiki post containing the most important information from this thread. You may edit the Wiki once you have been a member for 90 days and have made 90 posts.

Here is a read only link to the Aerodrome Database - WhichAerodrome.xlsx. Up to date as of 1/5/2019. Catching up slowly - up to May 2019 now (Mar 2020).

Here are some "rules" for Which Aerodrome. These are based upon the original suggestions from the very first thread, and have a few additions. Also please be patient as when you are active others may be asleep.
  • A historic picture of an aerodrome will be posted. Newer pictures are allowed but the theme here is to compare/contrast old with new as well as identifying aerodromes which no longer exist.
  • The person who correctly identifies it will be declared the 'winner' by the original poster.
  • That winner shall either post another challenge or declare the floor open. Anyone may then post the next challenge.
  • If the winner of the challenge does not respond to the notification of their success within 48 hours, an Open house can be declared when there is consensus between multiple other posters which are on line.
  • When the poster of a challenge does not respond within 48 hours of a posted answer, this poster can be declared winner if the answer is considered correct in a consensus of multiple other posters.
  • If Open House is declared, regular posters should not jump in immediately, but time should be given for those who are not great at naming the correct location as they may have some good images.
  • There will only be one challenge running at a time.
  • Try to use elderly photos and not Google Earth, Zoom Earth or any other search engine, pics
  • Try to post images that are not already present on internet, as Google Image Search will find them if they are.
  • Personal photos are acceptable as they show the aerodrome as it is now.
  • When confirming the correct location, the location and winner should be stated to negate any deletion of posts.
  • Please don't delete your posts, let everyone see your successes, failures and challenges.
Anyone can edit it so long as they have been here for 90 days with 90 posts. Let's get consensus before changing and not go crazy Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

None of the foregoing, but if Jenkins came South, he'd be closer. The MP was born there.

Well done Airclues. The Aden Airways apron c.1965. I was making a coffee one morning in the 8 Sqn crew room when one of those DC3s was blown up by a terrorist bomb nearby. A 43 Sqn mate of mine seduced/married one of the Airways hosties. But only after he had ejected following an engine failure within sight of my photograph - after Aden, he went on to command ETPS Boscombe Down. The MP is Keith Vaz.

OH therefore!

Runwaylength is 630 m, which is enough for a Sightseeing flight with 48 Pax.

There is also a lake in the vicinity.

Well we've had all day without a squeak so I couldn't resist. I thought to start it might be the VC-4 flight line at NAS Atlantic City NJ but I discovered the RCN did their training in '56-57 on the Drut at Boca Chica Field NAS Key West Fl. (USA ) Home base of FAWTULANT.

What a smashing photo Graeme. I was privileged to sit in a Demon (on the ground) at Cubi Point in 1960 - the lock-on radar (well you'd need it for a single-seater AW fighter and it worked on the ground) put our lot to shame.

If correct, apologies in advance for Open House. Off to do a bit of Schuh-plattling in my Liederhosen. Got some good stuff for next week though . LFH
