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.

...is the right answer! Very popular annual "Old Timer's" fly-In and former Sturzkampfgeschwader 1 Stuka base in WW2.

Over to you!

Thanks Mark1,

The Stukas were there only shortly.
They staged dive bombing attacks on ships in the Canal but suffered to high losses due to British fighters.
From then hardly used by the Germans. Allied forces used it again during Market Garden (a bridge to far)

new challenge


Succes SLB

Correct Dook,
They have a nice Naval air museum over there.
Not for a whole day, but definitely worth stopping by for a few hours.
Call in advance to get an English guide.

My guide had been flying army helicopters.
He explained the full Colonel’s landing to me.
(fixed wing)
Additional points if you can explain that one.

Cheers SLB

Many thanks Slb.

Aircraft ID helped, followed by "gate guardian".

Bourn, UK.

(As posted by me in the 'original' thread ) - Which Aerodrome?

Out of interest, where did you find the picture?

That's even more interesting because I don't use Photobucket.

Presumably your original upload was through Photobucket.

Although these looks typical Cumulus for which our Dutch painters are so famous, no it is not in my homeland.

Dook,
why would I?
Is your aircraft determination getting sloppy?
look at the semi oval just aft of the cabin and how far the cockpit is in front of the leading edge.
I am certain you will get your answer.

Looks like a Ford Trimotor to me.

What's been bugging me are the lights in the wing leading edge.

I'll stick with the Fokker though based on the cockpit, which is quite unlike the Ford.

But...………..I don't think it's going to help.
