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 might have stood a chance if he was a first tourist Jaguar or Lightning pilot.

The rise to prominence was not via F4, and the individual settled in this area, good for his particular metier, after Cathay.

Area is very agricultural, so there must be crop dusting. The name given to the major district reflects the efforts of an early administrator in Australia, and is a widespread name. The actual airfield name may come from Great Britain, where Kelly is relevant. The F4 pilot was a top-notch glider competitor.

At which point, I will peel off and head for bed.

But not before some WIWOL relevance, since in 1978 one passed by, not too far away, en-route.

That would be George Lee then. And the airfield he operated for gliding at Dalby, Queensland.
OH if correct.

George indeed. This is not his own field, which I believe is a few miles away, but it is Dalby Airfield itself, so I think you have the helm. Dalby also on Tem Mike, the IOM clue, thus Kelly and Peel. This Dalby is in the Darling Downs. David Cyster passed some miles to the North in his Tiger Moth epic.

Good morning, OH declared.

I think you are closer by replacing S by N and W by E

This is what they regard as the new terminal.
At least the mines have been cleared of the premises

For longitude you must search about middle in between Bosnia and India.
