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.

I wish dook well.

Why was dook banished?

Three things:
1 I think nvubu is correct to direct attention to that thread with regard to the question of banishment. There are several posts by PPRune Towers that give a pretty clear indication of the reasons.
2 I think we should be very careful about "playing the man" on pprune, and questions as to why a particular person was banished will lead us into that trap.
3. I would break my own rule (see #2 above) if I were to opine on why that particular person was banished, so I won't. But good riddance, I say. I'm open to PMs.

More than ever -- Stay Safe

Not Hurn... it's quite an old airfield - I think it was built towards the end of WW1 and had a military presence well into the '50's but no longer - it's still active tho'

Bit sparse tree-wise for the 'Bushe I think - and we had that last year IIRC. No Hampshire farmer would have an old hand pump on his land surely??

Not in the UK - it sometimes snows there

Flat open countryside like Holland, but they were neutral in WW1 so maybe Belgium; Charleroi?

It is VERY flat around here but not on the Prairies

Chevron - the airfield was built in a great hurry after public outcry following an unopposed bombing raid that killed a number of citizens in the nearby city but not Belgium

Also used for other activities
