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.
 
Last edit by: nvubu
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.

Sorry peeps. I scanned these and uploaded them to Pprune Pictures and albums but can't get them any bigger. the prints are 6x4".
I'm sure there is a way to get them bigger but I can't find it.

OPEN HOUSE it will have to be.

Sorry forgot some of you youngsters might not be familiar with the term although Kenparry was.
Remember when cameras were loaded with film which had to be developed?
A 'contact' print was a print which was the same size as the negative rather than being enlarged which meant with 110 film which was 16mm wide, it was too bl00dy small to see any detail and even with 35mm film it wasn't too good.

We used contact prints to check the navigation accuracy of photo-survey runs in the mid-70s. Mind you, the film was 10 inches wide!

My first camera was a Brownie Box No. 2 (1901-1935). Quite sophisticated for its time. Three apertures, selected by a slide and one shutter-speed, plus a “Bulb” setting. It used 120 film, which Kodak introduced for this camera.

The contact prints were 3 ¼” x 2 ¼”, which was quite an acceptable size. I still have an album of my first attempts and my brother, who is a collector, still has the camera.

eckhard,

During my career, I had occasion to use vertical aerial photos and they were always contact prints.

Still can't improve the pics. (Need sons help!)

If anyone wants to try, the first pic has a line of F4 phantoms, the second one has 2 lines of UH1s and the third pic is of a B727 approaching the terminal.
They were all taken on the same day in February 1990, and it was about 5 degrees F.

try

User Cp on top yellow menu line above - Pictures and Albums - create Album - Upload picture - gives you chance to upload 3 jpegs at a time - once uploaded you can copy either the BB or the other link

Go to thread you want to post on - Reply - picture symbol and paste in the link

Only problem is that it seems to only allow 25 to 30 pictures per Album so you have to delete the oldies every so often
