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.

Liberia is a very long way from the challenge I'm afraid (and by the way we need an airfield not a country) - those sniffing in the Caribbean are much closer

Rog747 is also incorrect - this is in the tropics and no part of Florida is, sensuo stricto, tropical

Until CV19 you could fly here (occasionally) from the UK

I’m not sure why this has to be explained again but the intent has always been that a challenge should not be verified within 24 hours. That does not mean the OP mustn’t post a reply for 24 hours; if a correct answer is posted then it shouldn’t be advised as such for 24 hours after the challenge was put online.

We had this same discussion at the beginning of the year so I hadn’t expected to have to explain it again. This challenge has now been running for about 60+ hours so there is no reason for Asturias56 not to say yea or nay to the last two replies.

Sorry - the problem was there was confusion over Max Tow's post -hI thought he meant Liberia - the independent country in W Africa but he meant Liberia in Costa Rica - which is correctI had it as Aeropuerto Internacional Daniel Odubo Quors. Regular flight to the USA, Canada & even TUI used to fly to the UK

really nice part of the world - beaches, mountains...... Max has declared OH

as The Master said "very flet, Norfolk" so I presume we're elsewhere from your ivy covered cottage?

Can we punt on the Himalayas?

The leafless slender trees are probably Italian poplars.
This tree originated from Iran but is spread over Europe.

Have a poke around Asia but not to the south. Better go east from Izmir. I'll post a clue when I put the dog and myself out last thing tonight. No ivy on the house but plenty on me.

An earlier visitor to the town. Perhaps someone can give a rough date based on the aeroplane type?

The River a tributary of The Oxus borders the airfield to the East and Afghanistan from mid-stream to the West.

The "Аэ" led me to the Polikarpov R-5, so the date would be 1930s.

From the Oxus clue, I deduce this aerodrome might be in Tajikistan?

India you are spot on with Tajikistan. I'll put some images on and then perhaps you, if you're not in bed, or somebody else will locate the aerodrome.

Summer. Plenty of Honey produced in the foothills of this part of the world. Bear please note.
Incidentally the city is known for its Poplar trees that dominate the flora.
