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.

Posting imgur images

I've been posting imgur images for a while and I'm very happy with the site. Uploading images is quick and easy, but the method for posting an image link is not intuitive, so for grizzled and anyone else who is interested, here's what to do:

1. Click on the green triangle next to your name at the top right and select Images:




2. Click on the image that you wish to post:




3. Click on the Copy button next to the link that is labelled "BBCode (message boards & forums)":



4. Paste the result of that Copy DIRECTLY into your reply.

DO NOT use the PPRuNe "Insert Link" or "Insert Image" icons.

Be aware that everyone can see your album.
Good advice from dook. Applies to most image sites. Only aeroplane porn in my album!

Far too nice for Delhi. Were on the North (new) side of the airport looking west. I have to say, I was a bit surprised to see the Japanese here. There's far more of a British influence.

HH has it. The Japanese have an almost permanent presence there. Much of the old airport has gone now, replaced by a mini-me version of the new terminal at Muscat.

Over to you, HH.

Sheer good luck rather than skill, I'm afraid. Picked a Mediterranean airport served by Ryanair where the runway is parallel to the shore, and Bingo! Luck of the draw.


Open House.
