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.

As I stated in my PM to you, which contained not a single swear word, by all means have a pop at me but don’t you dare insult my parents. My God, you take the biscuit. Feel free to post all of my PM. I’m sure the mods will soon be looking at it.

This thread used to be a bit of light hearted fun for many. It seems that it's got a bit serious with a small number taking 'ownership'.

Adieu.

PM to Dook answered

Further, without taking any side on this,
I myself try to master some more English by following this thread.
Street nor RAF slang do make that easy at some times, but I am willing to cope with that.
As it makes my vocabulary richer.

I deffo could figure out about the grades, but I may be an oik at not knowing exactly what an oik is.
But I think I have grasp of it now.

For the test leave me out of this.

Cgb,

I do not know to whom you are referring but I suspect I am on the list.

My challenge is withdrawn and I'll call OH.

I might have missed the boat on this one, but what about RAF Khormaksar as was back then?

No, you're not "on the list". You are the list.
No one has been more rude, more passive / agressive, more controlling of the thread since it first began. Your insult to sidtheesexist -- then accusing him of inflammatory comments -- was simply the latest of many examples.

I have been following this thread for some years and have NEVER observed any unpleasantness between members until recent days, we do not pay to post, contribute or learn from here, we are all here by privilege so PLEASE, if some of you should find yourself in conflict with another then behave like a man and walk away.

What's happening? This thread is supposed to be light hearted fun; I certainly haven't noticed any unpleasantness.
