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.

Vichy was the clue to Siam.

Not sure where Vichy came from.

Dook has it with Lampang.

Interesting read. https://www.chiangmaicitylife.com/ci...hern-thailand/

Siam wasn't Vichy, and was the only SE Asian country to avoid western rule.

Declared war on UK and USA after being invaded by Japan just before Pearl Harbor, but the ambassador to USA refused to deliver the declaration, so USA considered the country as occupied.

Let’s try this with aircraft ID:
2 engine high wing
engine nacelles extend behind wing, short fuselage
Could be grumman C-1 Trader?

Too long for Traders, too thin for Providers - my money would be on Caribou.

The shadows indicate that that the wings and tailplanes on the "Caribous" are about the same height off the ground, so my money is on an An-26 or similar. Which would mean that the four aircraft at the top right might be Il-28s.

Interesting thoughts
based on that I say Semyazino Airport.
It doesn’t match but when you go to howling pixel AN-26 it is the airport mentioned at the very bottom.

Yes, we are in Europe.

The photograph was taken just before a raid which I believe destroyed a lot of the aircraft.

A conflict in the late nineties involving NATO.

Is that a better clue ?

I think it's this airfield SW of Nova Pazova in the former Yugoslavia.

Good morning dook. Thanks

Have just seen the English translation of its name; Batajnica Air Base.

As I am about to go out for the evening, I think I had better call OH as I won't be available until tomorrow.
