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.

The surrounding trees on the airfield are very similar to those at Mulhouse, looking at video & photos of the unfortunate loss of the A320 when it could not climb away.

If you’re getting frustrated just ask and I’ll post the answer. I don’t want to hold things up.

Is this a competition to identify some airfield or other or a competition to see who can make up the most obscure of clues?

On behalf of ppruners (both long-timers and newbies) who've been sitting quietly by, I apologise to you for the rudeness of some of the posters here. They've been complaining for months about the lack of interest in the forum, especially from "non-regulars" and then they lash out like privileged boors -- all the while bending their own newly resurrected and posted rules as suits them -- or ignoring them completely.

Disgusting

Mid January.

A depressing time of year to say the least.

Okay - here we go. And it's going to be tricky.



Back onboard zulu morning.

TheiC,

I agree with grizzled. I’ve been playing this game for more years than I can remember. Some players are becoming too impatient.

No one should feel pressured into revealing their challenge.

Hi Auxtank & others, the concrete slabs remind me of Sleap in Shropshire.

As a newboy I find this thread fascinating...

some of the old challenges (and clues) are amazing

I do agree tho that people need to be less impatient.. Pprune has worldwide coverage and most people only log in once a day at most I suspect. Sometimes this thread gets like a chat room with literally instant responses. I prefer the e older, more relaxed tempo.....

I am totally with you, Asturias. It is for that reason that I have not posted for quite a while - that, & the fact that I haven't had any idea of any of the airfields I/Ds !

Having frustrated myself yesterday because I couldn't find the challenge, I am not going to annoy myself today.

This one might be in the UK. A fire hydrant (I think) in the middle of a airfield is certainly unusual.

Maybe weapons were involved.
