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.

Good one SLB.

EHOW, Oostwold

The picture is a bit older though. It was a lot busier during the last edition of the air show.

Archer has it with Oostwold.
Close to the Veenkoloniën (Peat colonies)
These were the areas that the City Groningen owned and where the peat came from for use as burning/heating.
Later in the Veenkoloniën some “re-education camps” were build where many paupers, poor and homeless from the large cities in the West were re-educated.

It was indeed an A26 visiting the airshow.
Perhaps Archer can share some pictures of the last airshow?

I have a few. Unfortunately not from the air. I was too busy flying my plane to make nice overview shots.
But it does give some overview of how busy it was.

Including the Fokker four display team.

Any extra points for identifying the Stansted-bound 747 in the background?

If it is Duxford then he’s a bit low to be inbound to Stansted. Maybe inbound to Cambridge?

Flap40 has it with Duxford. And extra points for answering within a minute. I expected it to be fast. But not that fast.

The view is to the South East. Could be Stansted yes.

Many thanks. The fields are more recognisable than the airfield.

Try this for size.....

It might be that Brighton City Airport
(Shoreham) has similar scrubs to the west of the runway.

If an Australian posed a challenge for "Name that Aerodrome", and a New Zealander answered with the correct name within a minute, the Australian would have to wait 24 hours to give the solution. After, say, 22 hours, a Frenchman (just an example) also gives the correct answer to the same challenge, then who would win?

The NZ of course
(unless the answer of the French would be more detailed as may be required and up to decision by the Australian)
