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.

Reims in 1909? I have a Science Museum repro poster for that event.

They certainly look like Nieuports, which is seducing me into thinking France.

Issoudun ?

I did Issoudun a fair while back, so not there.
You need to be looking at another country.

I have been trying to identify the markings in your last picture but to no avail.

They appear to be civilian and possibly at a training airfield.

Holland or Italy ?

I thought you might be doing that - I haven't obscured anything.
I think you are right with both your points of your second sentence - as we are still pre-war.

Do these help you answer your third sentence?


The crew of the above

Jenkins now has the correct country. Centocelle is for another time though.

My next set of images (WWII) may well give it away

You did - I posted a couple of images to help you decide which one.

The airfield no longer exists - was abandoned after WWII.

Any help.

The airfield is about 2/3 the way up the left hand side of the image, going off the edge.

All I have been able to find is an old Pathe newsreel captioned Turino AKA.

Over and out.

It looks as if it is now the Parco Publica Gustavo Colonnetti in Turin

Was it Idroscalo Turin - an old seaplane base on the Po?? Doesn't look like the other older airport at Cerrina which is kms away further east
