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 is in Queensland and is active.

During WW2 there were several USAAF units stationed here.

Bingo.

Charters Towers it is.

I am always open to questions when I have set a challenge but today has been very quiet.

Please take the thread.

Finger trouble this morning. I have an image to post, but can't get the wretched thing to insert in a post. Don't know why - I have done it before.

To keep things rolling: OH.

kenparry. I've stopped using the insert image button as it has been very hit and miss with my images.

Instead I press the "Source" button and then paste the image link in between the image tags as below - I type the image tags in manually.

[img]paste link here[/ img]

There's no space between the / and the i, but I've had to enter them in this post otherwise it assumes it's the end of an image and removes the text

nvubu, thanks for the tip. I still seem to be doing something wrong. Can you see the linked image?

The "" disappears when I post...………….between the quotes it's supposed to be nvubu's brackets after "paste link here"

Think I will bang my head on the wall.

If anybody has an offering, please go ahead.

I also experience the image problems sometimes.
I think this might be related to image size and upload speed.
I have the problems from Iphone and not from wired internet on PC.

Discorde has it - first time hit!

SLB: thanks for the comment. The above photo is only about 250kb. I was using a wired PC. I think the problem is probably mostly me.
