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.

I think I am correct with Warboys.

My friend was at Wyton.

You are correct with Warboys although Wyton is a bit further down the road that disappears out of the top of the last picture. Warboys is just out of shot to the bottom left.

To answer your earlier question, I'm assuming you're referring to my user name, Ripton? I've lived in both of the Riptons.

They actually live in Warboys.

I asked previously about you location because of your seemingly intimate knowledge around New York.

Cows Getting Bigger

If I may interject, for those that haven’t seen or connected the dots... Cows Getting Bigger a.k.a Dave Phillips flew his last approach yesterday.

Threads in the Military and Middle East Sections.

My condolences to Dave’s family, the families of his colleagues and all people who will miss them.
I trust Dave and his colleagues are lined-up on the flight path to heaven.
Cows will be missed in this parish.
I will think of him, that he will now have the best aerial view on all challenges.
RIP

SLB sums it up perfectly.

I only knew Cows through this thread, and always found his challenges interesting as they were ones he had taken deliberately for us to solve - which I never seemed to be able to do.

I can only echo what nvubu said above. Sad days, and deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

I've connected with him many times on FF but didn't realise he was on here as CGB.

Not too intimate but we visit friends there on a fairly regular basis. As I said the road name jumped out at me when I was trying to work out a relatively traffic free route out to other end of Long Island and I googled it.

I seem to be the only one who is playing.

This helicopter is at Malta - Luqa I think.

Dave "Spot" Phillips' passing has been posted on a private air traffic control site.

Perhaps the RAF’s ubiquitous overseas sqn required the increased height doors?
The challenge which Cows has not been able to post.
