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.

Military, not Aus, but with a modicum of GA use.

What sport would be played on that odd looking field at the top left of the pic I wonder?

This country lists rugby among its sports, though failed to qualify for 2019 World Cup.

Picking up on Dook`s suggestion of Eastern Europe, Romania back in the 1970s to 1990s had quite a formidable national rugby team. That said, possibly too much greenery & also everything too neat & tidy looking. My friend who has just bought me a cuppa, has just said is it Spain?

The hangars lead me to believe my earlier assumption of Blighty might be wrong. But surely, the surrounding terrain looks too fertile for sunny Spain?

Not Eastern Europe and not Spain. I gather Georgian props are a valuable commodity in the game these days. Spain may have been in the thoughts of the builders of this field at its inception.

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus,Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine

Hmmmmm…. doesn't really narrow it down

Europe assumption correct. One must surmise that at the time of the publication regarding the 2019 RWC list this country was still in with a chance of qualifying, since it is not on the list.

So, that's the country. Good effort but Samoa too strong. Now for the field?

Looks more like a pure athletics stadium than footy or rugger.

Not DDR, and not particularly close to Munich. A former Luftwaffe base, but no longer.

Sorry for delay, Salisbury Hospital since 0400.

Yes, Niederstetten. Former Luftwaffe but current Army. Pedantry, sorry!

All OK, huge variety of health problems take me to Odstock. This was 0400 arrival at A&E, now clear for home, 1500. Wife and I visit Derriford in Plymouth wherein lies wife sister from Kingsbridge. Hospital chaotic, but ward cheerful with several military staff. One expressed a desire for an Aeromed posting. I explained that my first Aeromed had been off the grass at Plymouth in 1970.

A vous.
