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.

Good spot.

I've enhanced that part in Photoshop and it says "...denciales" so it might be Providenciales International Airport.

edit: looks like it.

Well done dook.

Provo airport in the Turks and Caicos Islands. I didn’t notice the sign when I first posted the picture, but I thought I would leave it there as it was not complete. I hadn’t reckoned on sharp-eyed WIWOLs.

Indeed just one guess, the housing in top right corner distinctly British. With OH still valid, and my Manx kipper digested, try this.

I think "Manx kipper" is a red herring.

As always with these GE images there's almost nothing to go on, although this one appears to be on the coast or an island.

A straight clue to get the ball rolling would be in order methinks.

On the coast of an island. I could weave a story around the Manx red herring, a lovely comment on my kipper, but I won't. The people of this island, not very many, voted on a referendum and accepted the result. But that is inconsequential. The name given to the island was intended to encourage settlement, but there was little response. The Portuguese pitched up at one stage, as always, but didn't last long and are now merely but one leif in the history book.

I dont think we have any airport with rolling hills in the vincinity.

Although this airport is also just 150 foot AMSL.
