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.

Isla Grande Airport, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I think the interloper might be a JP.

Pedant Mode!
To be accurate it's the 'new' Tingwall airport which replaced the old grass strip in, I think, the '80s.
I flew into the old strip in Sep 1972 courtesy of Loganair; a patch of stinging nettles marked the northern end of the strip and there was a substantial stone barn just off centreline at the southern end but I don't know exactly where it was! There was a dry stone wall next to the barn which extended across the centreline; a visiting Aztec tried to demolish this while landing during my 'tour of duty' at Sumburgh.

Not Specsavers - ASDA opticians - much cheaper. Oh, and I have over 2000 hours on JPs.

Dice roll again, but not too difficult.

Didn't know that this place was a replacement for a previous strip. Thanks for your recollections and the info. I paid a quick visit while driving around Mainland earlier this year; I visited on a Saturday so no activity unfortunately!

This is probably either HR-TNL of TAN carga or HR-SHN of Sahsa. Lots of pictures on the net. Most from Miami International.

JP4 still in use at Shawbury when I did my PAR course in 1984, but I didn't manage to get a 'jolly' like some others did when doing the course.

Bear,

It is indeed a TAN aeroplane but it's not Miami.

For Sycamore, Lossie - Brawdy at high level tight and unlikely, not much Rebecca Eureka coverage left in 1981. Low level much more fun. Distant memory of Rebecca Eureka at Twenthe earlier that year on another jolly, but not convinced. On one trip I went Leuchars - Coningsby, doing a favour for the future Scottish Air Marshal.
