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

We spent three weeks in Brunei in 1986.

I remember condensation on the windows - on the outside.

sycamore gets the top banana with Tanjung Manis and has called OH.

Octane - that would be an "outside agency" then.

In the search for possibly the oldest airfield, I thought of this which has good reason to be named close to that search topic.

Dunno the name but it's about 4nm east of Lewes in Sussex and just west of the village called 'Ripe'. (It's not Deanland although that's not far away)

Solar farm, yes. That was quick Chevvron, 'named' being the clue which I inserted since this is Kittyhawk Farm in Sussex, exactly where you placed it. Now I can go back to my ironing and the rugby.

I'll kick off then.

Looks disused. Is that aeroplane some kind of museum or visitor attraction ?

The large aircraft looks like a Constellation. The geography looks like USA (Florida?). I can't find a Connie survivor that matches the setting.
