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.

It does abut the Persian Gulf.

It is PC nowadays to refer to it as the Arabian Gulf, but not me - I lived in SA for five years and refuse to do so.

Not Dubai.

I should add that this is part of a hotel on the airport.

PC Arabian v Persian Gulf. Some years ago was at reception for IRISL, the Iranian national shipping line. Discussing our own services to that body of water I called it the Arabian Gulf and was promptly corrected by their reps, "Persian Gulf please". No offence given or taken.

Choose your words according to whom you are speaking in those parts of the world.

Re. the challenge, just over ten years ago there was a well-known army 'charge' here.

Not on UK TV. There was an important seat to fill after a recent death.

Not a politician, and unless seekers have the sort of strange mind which inhabits my noddle a clue of little use. Weather looks nice there.

Not Canada. Temperature at nearest international airport is already 29, I think the Vale will be hot today.

Good morning. Yes, Aldinga. Spotted during TV coverage of the first major cycling event of the year. Sadness with death of long -time commentator quite recently. Long weekend in Adelaide a good memory however.

India42, over to you.

JENKINS,

Thanks. The square fields made me think USA, but the 03 ruled that out, so Canada was the first obvious choice. I was going to search Australia next, but the Vale reference immediately narrowed my search area.

Try this:

Four-bladed props and lots of folded wings.

Do I see Skyraiders ?
