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.

SLB was going along the right tracks, but dook has got to the location first. It is Wendover AFB in Utah.

Here are some more images I had lined up - the first two I think would have led you to it much sooner.

Republic-Ford JB-2 - the previous image was a crashed one. The launch site for these is still visible to the south of the airfield.


This image is from September 1945


On the bombing range




And these two were going to be the next images




From the 1970s

Not everything is a clue.
Hamstering was referring to the shops currently being sold out due to Corona.
(In the Netherlands they are mainly thinking that toilet paper is running out!)
The pies are obviously related to the airfield.

Freddy Starr eating a hamster sandwich,
I had to look that up.
In Dutch that is a “broodje aap verhaal”.

Next clue:
Would you think a Dutch bakery would print his pie boxes with “built from scratch”???

As we have some hours before a winner can be revealed:
Bonus points can be obtained when the aircraft in the last photo is identified.

Cherryland airport Door county Wi
dook has it again.

The cherry pies were ferried to a funeral of a woman who had visited Door county often and had written a book with various pie recipes.

The canned cherries were ferried in 1940
