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.

Yes, she's just texted me. They're all out to dinner.

Their apartment overlooks the square with loads of restaurants.

Meanwhile back in Canada...……….

Is salt mining a spoof ?

No, sorry, keep trying. I never spoof, I admit to obfuscation, but my last couple of posts should be good pointers.

Well, I've tried every Canadian province and nothing ties up with salt mines except the one you have rejected, which is Ontario.

None of the usual players seem to be having a shot.

Yes, that's it. Apparently the islands are a favoured holiday destination. The beaches seem pretty good from Google, but with weather possibly similar to that of a now-defunct secret military airfield in Pembrokeshie I must wonder. There is always the salt of course.

To Terry.

I feel a bit guilty using the time zone difference to sneak in when all the hard work had been done.
That one was far too cold, so let's go somewhere much warmer.
You won't find much of this one on GE as it has been built over, but it was very busy when I flew DC-3s there back in the 60s.

Yes. It gradually slid back and is now all underwater
It was a rather unique VFR inner marker for RWY32 courtesy of the Japanese and WW2.
(Or maybe that should be courtesy of the US navy and a SBD Dauntless dive bomber).
OH declared.
