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.

Still looks like that neck of the woods - albeit with distinct lack of trees...

JENKINS,

You should have flown the Mk3 Lightning - we were short of fuel on start-up !!

That looks like a very long runway.

Why was your aeroplane in bits ?

Yes, sandy area. My machine continued South with me on my planned journey. Months later I returned but machine in bits in a different country. Not pilot error, and the perpetrator has been spotted on Pprune. I loaded it but didn't fly it that day. Night stop on day of photograph in national capital, and I was surprised that ale was available.

Believe demise of machine due to power lever malfunction. Unable to check, local militia peppered the machine with bullets in double-quick time, and journey to strip by road somewhat difficult. And yes, this is not USA.

What an interesting story. I have also destroyed an aeroplane with gunfire.

Are we near the Caspian Sea somewhere ?

That vague piece of coast is an East coast, and the sea is a major ocean.

It wasn't a Jindi. It was on the ground.

Not N E Africa, but you have reached the correct continent.

Maybe NE Africa was an inaccurate call. I was thinking Somalia.

Yes, the East coast is seen, the West is very close but not seen, making a peninsula. Always devious but never untruthful.
