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.

Perhaps too ominous for nervous passengers about to cross the Atlantic. The last time I stopped there, about 1991, the terminal had recently been redeveloped and the photos had gone. I do hope they have been preserved somewhere appropriate.
You mean the Atlantic Wings Collection as till 2001?
It has been moved.

My memory is just of a collection of photos, not the other exhibits that your link shows, and it had gone from where I saw it at YQX well before 2001.

Does anyone feel we should remove this from "the rules " ?

No, not at all, keep it as it is.
Please note that this rule is not bound by the 2x24 hours.
So 4,5 hrs of Jenkins can be enough.

As OH has been called quite much lately, then I think the waiting time can be taken shorter.
There have been plenty of opportunities to jump on the wagon at any time of day.

If we have had a long string of non OH we must remember this rule.

(just my opinion)

So go Ahead if you have any ready.

The problem is that no timescale is stated.

It seems that "non-regulars" by definition hardly ever post anyway.

I do have some ready but...…..

Luton Airport?
I was gonna suggest Rearsby due to the number of high wing types visible but I don't think it is.

Open house again.
Suppose I should have said 'not the original Luton Airport' ie Barton.

I think I can give the clue that by the looks of the flags, it is an international airport.

Is that two Danish flags on the right. Trees on a hill in the background with Nordic looking house.
How about Copenhagen?

That building in the Left background looks familiar. I'm sure I've seen it in another historical photo somewhere. Could it be Budapest Ferihegy?
