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 in Canada but this community was originally established due to the presence of iron ore. Tourist oriented these days.

I’m checking with the photographer about the colours. It looks to me like a filter has been applied.

If those cars are driving on the left, might we be in Orstralia ?

If those cars were driving on the left, they would not survive very long! We are half a world away from the Lucky Country.

I am aware of three different games might be played on that “pitch”, but I doubt that anyone would have the temerity to suggest playing Rounders.

asturias,

The picture was “Lightroomed”. You can take your sunnies off now!

dook, USA is more than good, it's a direct hit.

Definitely Not Cricket, JENKINS.

Mountains look high & dry to me - California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico?

Appearances can be deceptive. Further north than all of those states.

In case it might help, the view is to the SSW. The mountains in the distance are less than 5000' ASL.

Touch of calm to the proceedings, Lake Placid?

Out for a couple of hours, so I fear OH if correct. Enough clues, India Four Two, for a former geography master. Was wrong about tennis courts, but I stand by my assertion of 'Rounders.'

Well said, JENKINS. I was going to try to work Desiderata into my clues.

The picture was taken by a friend of mine during the Montreal Soaring Council's Fall Wave Camp expedition to Lake Placid. I'm surprised no one spotted these in the background, which rather give the game away:



JENKINS has declared Open House.

Just read 'Desiderata' for the first time, totally unknown previously. Thanks, and a comment comes to mind, 'Party on Dudes.' I hope that the inference from this is not entirely lost.

Still Open House from me, but I have something up my sleeve if required. Difficult to be up my sleeve in a Tarzan outfit.

Roof pitch on houses looks fairly steep.

Mainland Europe perhaps.

Red roofs and a roundabout? More likely Australia.
