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.

TINYPIC.COM
dook has messaged me regarding the fact that tinypic.com is closing down. When it does, any image linked to there will no longer be visible - go back to the original Aerodrome thread top see how it looks when the image is no longer available.

If you use this website to host images you will need to download all your images from that site down to your computer. If you want the images that you have used to be visible on this (or other sites), you will need to upload them to another site. I use Microsoft OneDrive as this is under my control and all the images are on my PC as well as in the cloud. One downside is that I have to use the Source button to manually insert the images into a post.

Once the images are back up in the cloud, you will then have to go through your posts and replace the tinypic images with the ones from your new location. This is long winded and a pain - I know I've had to do this once before for my images.

dook - you did say you are retired and with time on your hands

I am going to try to retrieve all mine.

I have now established how to upload directly to PPRuNe via a test post yesterday and it works.

The problem is going to be getting into tinypic to retrieve my portfolio.

Dook - right country , wrong area

It's been around as a place for several hundred years but as far as I can see nothing ever happened there and no-one famous, came, went or stayed...................

But the only country I have suggested is Denmark but you have said no.

Do you mean Auxtank ?

Sorry - AUXTANK is correct - in Russia but not Urals..............

A complete red herring but from my trips to Russia and the FSU an awful lot of it suffers from an awful lot of fog - especially in winter................

PS re TINY PIC - wasn't there a problem on here a while ago when some other picture posting site changed their tT&C? I've come across references n old post .. and of course Google Earth wiped a whole load of pictures a while back as well

That's why our outfit doesn't trust Cloud based storage for anything other than very short term items

Has it been written about - in a novel or folklore, etc?

Not that I can find - the locals have hunted, cut wood and fished for several hundred years without any seeming notice from the outside world at all

It appears to be listed (with another 100,000 small places ) in that great summer holiday read (recommended by Ophra) "All Union Population Census of 1989: Present Population of Union and Autonomous Republics, Autonomous Oblasts and Okrugs, Krais, Oblasts, Districts, Urban Settlements, and Villages Serving as District Administrative Centers"

It has a regular (but sparse) travel connection by air to the nearest significant town

It appears in TripAdvisor!! There is a hotel , a guest house and some cottages if you are looking to stay over, a local museum and some traditional buildings to see ... several thousands souls live there and appear to be quite content

The Hotel is a bit rough according to the (very few) reviews......... sounds like a few I've stayed in in the sticks
