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.

Delighted to state not Turkey. My first visit, to family home nearby, 1963 by DH106, final departure 767 in 1993. In the interim, in the local area, HP67, B101, Type 175, HS780, VC10, C130, BN2T. I think that is it. Please note that so far I am dealing solely with the negatives. Five airfields involved.

Now for positives. Yes to Eastern Med., I am sure that my next positive answer may not be necessary.

Doesn't look like Larnaca, Pafos, Nicosia or Akrotiri. So it must be Dhekelia?

I fear that the only buffer zone with which I am familiar was in the 1963 dust--up when the Ledra Palace Hotel in Nicosia became unavailable due to the division of hat city. Will it help if I state that village names close to this strip represent both sides of the division? The operator of the strip appears to express impartiality.

Jensdad wins with Dhekelia, where I kept my machine while operating at Kingsfueld. Sorry if a bit disjointed ce soir, water supply problems. House, not mine, and now fixed.

Auxtank arrived home after his afternoon outing to find the Postman had delivered new ring-bound updated info.

So for a change a new angle on things...

I've Blurred the pertinent info but left the essentials.

...and the approach doesn't look too bad. A touch of right cyclic to regain the centreline, of course.

That's an understatement!

Obviously not a fast-jet man.
