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.

With reference to Sycamore down the back, in my time I was the 'Last of The Summer Wine,' pedalling like mad to keep my slot behind, I think, Clementine.

No - NE would be better.

I have identified the bombers.

Thanks, the shape of the Hardened Aircraft Shelters sent me that way, but would have been quicker if my Russian was better. Siberia, bit cool. Now let's go travelling again. My visit here pre-dated the large new terminal, and my machine was man-handled into the sole remaining parking slot on the small apron. Occasion a local VIP wedding, many there and a chum from RAF days was sent to cool his heels many miles away.

So let's start. Sycamore and one not often seen in this parish, Brakedwell, may have an interest in local political divisions.

Major thread drift here! Freya Stark certainly was an amazing character. Travelling unaccompanied, with local guides, from Mukalla to the Hadhramaut, in the 1930s.

In the early 90s I was on a seismic crew on the plateau that she traversed en route. I read her book after I returned and found that I could identify which geological formation she was crossing on her journey. Amazing observational and descriptive powers!

My mode of transport was an Aerospatiale Lama, which was a big improvement on her four-legged transport!

Not Spain. Since Wales won yesterday, my charity goes so far as to declare 31 there first, more or less.

31 ? Fivestar squadron - I was part of the outfit on Jaguars.

The star of India - but that's not where we are.

No, not up there. This city has considerable Hindu significance.

Not up there either. Lovely day here. To get closer, look at postings of Brakedwell, study his likely squadrons, and that will bring you closer. Sycamore should take the hint, but I stress simply 'closer.'

Spicejet on approach as I write.
