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.

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.

well done shackman!!!!

Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport is an airport that serves the small city of Mariscal Estigarribia, in the Boquerón Department of Paraguay. The airport is named after Luis María Argaña, a vice president who was assassinated in 1999. It is operated by Paraguayan military authorities.

Think that maybe a Hasty ,or Valetta fuselage,for para/loading/rescue practice...doesn't appear to have wings...Can`t be `66 as I`m sure all Cranberries op`d out of Tengah,and if you look on the `RAF Routes` thread, there seems a lot more concrete for Brits,Comets ,etc,etc...as we was at war with the neighbours.....well,where I was,FEAF were still posing in No1s....

Apologies for the delay - yes it is Changi circa 1971. A cropped photo!

Well done dook .

Big change these days, including the coastline.

I'm doing some work on T5 and RWY 3 and was on site in 1976 when the "opening" ceremony was held and initial foundations laid for the "civil" airport.

Many thanks MJG.

Mr. Tien in downtown Singapore did a mean line in quality hi-fi in the late sixties.

If it's on a 'large island' I'm thinking it's actually on Great Britain or Ireland, rather than an outlying island? If so, haven't got a clue where it is!

It's in Oirland to be sure.

Part of the British Isles but not the United Kingdom.
