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.

kenparry is correct. I was looking for the other names of the airport, specifically Bandaranaike International Airport (Sinhalese: බණ්ඩාරනායක ජාත්*යන්තර ගුවන්තොටුපළ; Tamil: பண்டாரநாயக்க பன்னாட்டு வானுர்தி நிலையம்), colloquially known as Katunayake Airport and Colombo International Airport, (IATA: CMB, ICAO: VCBI) is the main international airport serving Sri Lanka.

evansb,

Thanks. The array of Tristars in that livery were the clue.

This one will probably go quite quickly (the challenge, I mean, not the subject of the photo)

chevron - a poster has removed all of his posts. Very frustrating - especially when they have had challenge photos in them.

Go look at your challenge at the top of the previous page. The answer - to which you replied "That was quick"- is missing as it has been deleted. And the post after it that had the Leconfield challenge.
When I go back and update the list I will have no idea as to where it is

I have not deleted any posts.

There is a post missing after my #9401.

I'll go back through my PC deleted images and try to help you.

dook is correct - I thought it would be quick.

Photo from 1966. the Spit was the centrepiece of 1(F)Sqn's museum, and had been on the sqn strength at Hutton Cranswick in 1945-46. It moved to Wittering, then Cottesmore, but where it went after the Harriers ended, I don't know.

Thank you kp.

Apologies for the quality but I think this won't last long either:

He regularly deletes his posts. It is his right to do so of course but I don't understand the reason.

Indeed, Doha International with a slither of Hamad on the left edge.
