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.

Not Kadena. The moronic Cold War era.

There's only a few places the Yanks can park that many tankers..

I'm new here, so you may have had this one,in which case let me know.



Clue: You would have found 'Cats-eyes' on the airfield as well as the roads

Hatfield - as Reg pointed out below!

(can't fathom out why my replies keep appearing in the 'wrong' sequence?)

Nice to have you here Fox3WheresMyBanana

You'll find the list of previous posts in here http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post3884576, second link from top.

And another tip: Disguise your file names

OK, you've had the aerodrome above before (but maybe not that photo, so bonus points if you get it), but not this one.
Don't know how to hide image info - so don't cheat!. I once landed a Cessna 152 here.

Hatfield is correct Jindabyne - 'Cats-eyes' Cunningham was a test pilot here.
Also, my grandad did the electrics on Mossie engines here during WWII, my mum was a Tech Records clerk on the Comet, my dad landed a Tiger Moth here and I flew an F3 out of here in 1993 just before it closed. How's that for a family connection?

Feel free to take over, or wait till somebody guesses the other one. Sorry all for the confusion!

F3WMB if you use Photobucket, you can edit the file name before posting



Don't forget to replace the previous file in Photobucket (otherwise you may get funny results). If you use something else, I am sure they have the same feature.

AND, please keep one challenge in force at the time. One challenge -> Correct answer -> challenge poster validates -> winner posts a new or declares Open House, which is the free-for-all to post.

AND don't worry, everybody is confused once in a while. Just the new ones are forgiven a bit easier .
