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.

Jenkins, correct city but wrong airport. The Hangar was typical for this field. You could fly through it.

Dook is correct. Airport closed 1968. We picked up the glider 1959.

Your control

Nice challenge d7f.

I'll put this up.

However, if anyone feels like a shot at posting a challenge, then please feel free to do so and I will then remove this one.

Thanks. Some amazing photographs of Lancasters left out in the Alberta prairie, and more amazing was the 'Tankaster.' Bedtime now, and busy tomorrow matin, so OH I regret

I will try to reach to Jenkins’ cryptical level:

His flight was bad, not like a gracious falcon.


Now turned into a golf course.

That would be fine if I knew what to interpret.

I'm out on this one - see you later.

For a thread which is about identifying aerodromes, maybe this is now getting a bit silly !

Paris neighbourhood indeed
Not one of the Pioneers above.

There is a French song about him
partial Free translation:

The plane!, the plane!
It climbs into the air,
It hovers over the mountains, it crosses the seas,
Let it go to watch the sun like Icarus
And that it may astray even further
And it puts a trace in the sky, an eternal furrow
But let's keep it the suave name of a plane
Because of it’s magic word, the five clever letters
This virtue opens up mobile skies.

French, what did you do with his air castles?
He left a word, but there is nothing else left of him.
