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.

Sorry, but the hosting website says wrong format and refuses to upload, despite the fact that it is a jpg.

No challenge therefore.

So, this for tonight. I have landed there, even on one occasion to consider a 'cutting out' expedition in relation to a P68 against an unpaid debt. I declined.

Bed-time in UK. I don't think any regular contributors are familiar with this area. Plenty of clues for tomorrow.

I see that no-one has progressed to the heart of the matter. Certainly water nearby, but cannot affirm mangrove swamps. Not as far East, in terms of Terry's Chocolate Orange segments, as my old chum may surmise.

Not nearly as classical as Greece. One big hint already there previously as I go shopping. Back soon.

I think that clue may be in Terrys Chocolate orange.

Although maybe the P68.

Terry's were owned by Kraft (or Mondelez) who aer based in Deerfield Ill, now they're owned by Carmabar who have operations in Poitiers, Paris and Strasbourg . None of those seem to fit the image

So it may just be ORANGES we're looking at - Seville - don't think so ; Tangiers - could be but airport wrong, Satsuma - no airfield

I'm looking more at 'the heart of the matter'... The papiamento (I think, someone might correct me) word for 'heart' being Curacao?

No, Terry's refers solely to the longitudinal chunks which make up the globe of the confectionery. Not South America. I am not very helpful in setting you off on a journey without maps. P68 incidental.

As for Seville, I gave you Cordoba a couple of weeks ago, so no orange there.
