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.

Close to China is Mongolia and a quick goggle shows they have a liking for blue roofs. Don't know where tho.

Mongolia is too far away.

The challenge is about 40 miles in a straight line from the Chinese border.

I am surprised that nobody has suggested a very secretive country near the Chinese border.

I presume that you are referring to North Korea. I have no knowledge of aerodromes in this country, but I would hazard a guess at Pyong Yang.

It is indeed in North Korea.

Try Google Earth and go about 70 miles NNW towards the Chinese border. The field is marked with the Google airport symbol.

Thank you - you did give the location away somewhat

For the next aerodrome, we are going back to a time when GE didn't exist.

Or should I say - What hangar?


Will provide more images later today.

I don't believe in making things too difficult or protracted.

Don't get the J. M. Barrie bit Jenks.

You are putting too much thinking into the question
I'm not showing very much of the aerodrome here, hence the "What Hangar" - There is no clue in this that I can think of.

Not Panshanger - tis 5 minutes away from me, and all the hangars have gone from there now..
Not in the USA.

Another piccy in half an hour - when I get home.
