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.

OK, so we have narrowed it down to somewhere close to one of the several hundred Ryanair destinations...……………………….. might take a while …………………….

In fact, one of several hundred Ryanair destinations not served from Ireland.

No, not Padua

I wouldn't have said that Padua was Northern Europe...

Agreed, the balcony was drawing my thoughts. 100 years, how about Danzig?

The Balcony was 'spotter's balcony', where they talk about aeroplanes as 'visitors'...

Not Danzig, I'm afraid.

You wouldn't want an engine failure off either end here, in an SEP, but that doesn't bother many of the users, nor did it bother some of the noted alumni of the aeroclub.

For the surrealists again:

This aerodrome isn't in the Titanic, nor is it in the Golgafrincham B-Ark, nor the Bistromath, but you might say it's in something of their kind, the name of which Douglas Adams would have delighted in.

I’m afraid not Switzerland. But we’re narrowing it down!

Szczecin has undergone recent upgrading works ie construction of a parallel taxiway and it is a Ryanair destination in pine forest with chimneys nearby, BUT I don't think it's 100 years old being an ex Warsaw Pact airfield.

Good shot but there's three tall chimneys visible from the apron there. Two only in the above pic - unless Dame Photoshoppen has been at work...

Which on this thread would be a crime punishable by death by de-icer.

No photoshop involved... I think we’ll aim for the target now, rather than area suggestions...

How about Austria - Magrathea being an unlikely candidate.

DEFINITELY not Magrathea. Nor any suggestion that Slartibartfast did any of the coastline, it lacking anything resembling a fjord.
