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.

All I can find at the moment is Site D59, which doesn't tell much.

I mentioned McMurdo before, so it isn't there, although to dumbo here that's an obvious one.

Your post didn't mention McMurdo when I replied to it, but I see that it does now. I hadn't been back to re-read it before.

It is Williams Field at McMurdo - so dook has it.

The Red containers are called Plateau Station Vans and were used at Plateau Station between 1966 and 1969 - and were left there when the station was mothballed.

The Empire struck back quite effectively, I gather, from a 'drome at Grigno?

I cut Sycamore some slack to figure it out in his own time and pace. But as being challenged directly I will pin it down to Harlem airport, western Chicago Illinois.

I had no idea what he meant either !

However, you have got Harlem and it's all yours.

Thanks Dook!
I studied shipbuilding in the real Haarlem.
In the same building as the bachelor school of aircraft building.
Now both long gone from Haarlem.

I hope to have interpreted Jenkins correctly?
