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.

Yours Asters.
Was also known as La Cheppe - depending on which end of the airfield you were standing.

Asters has the stick.

Here be marmalade.
El Aeropuerto Capitán FAP Pedro Canga Rodríguez (Código IATA: TBP, código OACI: SPME)

That was the most intense WA I've done so far.
Rikshaw - non Indian.
Far East tuk tuk search.
Home in on non-charachteristic overhanging rear bicycle tyres - South America - specifically Peru.
Small airport building - big jet parking...
Much GE zooming.
Arrive.

Applause
I hadn’t even started yet.
Strange loop for cars/busses on the apron side.
Especially as there appear to be no busses!

Cheers Bear, looks like a loop for pax busses - it's mainly a holiday airport;
Wiki: The airport is used mainly by locals and national and international travelers because of its proximity to beaches and resorts.

Aaaagggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhh

Bloody hell - "the clever men in Oxford know all there is to be knowed..."

It is indeed Pedro Canga Rodríguez - right on the border and used by inhabitants on both sides to get to & fro

Auxtank has it and I'm off the nearest railway line - but there aren't any trains running.......................

An interesting challenge Asters - it was the rickshaw that gave it away...
I doubt there's a man living with a greater knowledge of the various rickshaws of the World than I, Watson.

"I doubt there's a man living with a greater knowledge of the various rickshaws of the World than I,"

that's the problem on here - too many experts on the most arcane subjects - no knowledge at all that's useful of course but rickshaws or Indian train conductors Uniforms 1850-1875 and we're there.....

The picture looks like Bonnie Scotland to me?
