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.

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.

I'm intrigued - you've driven along it but not flown into it.

So is it still in use or disused ?

Error, driven alongside it, but road not in view, sorry. Yes, still active according to call for weather earlier today. Cannot link it with Gibraltar I fear, but certainly close to efforts of locals in struggle for independence. No battle nearby, but perhaps 'a battle' may be relevant.

This might sound silly, but are we in Scotland ?

Not silly at all, yes and chosen for that very reason.

Possibly Campbeltown.

Perhaps your reference to "battle" may refer to the ship.

Heaven forefend, Macrihanish! Definitely not, and I have landed on the grass there. Nice note though, about the destroyer. So, once again, no battle but perhaps A battle.

Well, I think it must be on an island.

May I assume it is marked on GE ?

Not on a Scottish island. I found it on GE, though I knew what I was seeking.

Perhaps I should add that GE has not 'marked' the field.

Well, I don't think it's marked on GE with the usual airfield symbol.

edit: crossed posts

Nearest machine is Polish, and for one in this parish the field lies close to a straight line between two significant points.

A repeat A battle in Scotland... or perhaps we should read it as A BATTLE in Scotland

If memory serves me right there was one at Strathallan and it looks a possible on GE

A battle, put those together and you are there. But then, this battle was not in Scotland. Polish machine still there. Not Strathallan.

Strathallan is marked on GE and the challenge is not.

My battle, not in Scotland, was 1July, and my significant straight line was 1June.

Yes, well done, Aboyne. Plenty of local history in relation to the '1715,' wonder if the Stuarts will ever return.

Thank you J - I was going to give up until I found the battle of Boyne.

Here is an aircraft of which I had never heard.
