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.

KP is obviously having a problem getting back here, but there are no doubts that you are correct Bear.

Why don't you post a new one.

We are not in a hurry,

We don't need multiple posters. You are correct with no doubts.

The tiny snippet of countryside at extreme left says 'North West Europe or British Isles' to me. Other than that, I have no clue!

Northwest Europe is correct.
Although the 4 Aircraft are of same type, the second will bring you the furthest!

The lightning-flash markings look like Royal Canadian Air Force. Could it be one of the RCAF bases such as Lahr?

You said northwest Europe so you must mean France and not UK.

Remaining non-nuclear armed units in France were repositioned to Marville, and RCAF Station Grostenquin closed in 1964.

Must be one of them.

Brexit ?

British members of parliament are stinking rats.

Europe will consider your post as a request for extension which We will take into consideration.
In the mean time we await your further struggle to solve this problem.

Does that sum up current Brexit and Which Aerodrome situation?

I have already said above it's either Marville or Grostenquin.

More likely the latter.

Naming two Aerodromes is one too many.
your latest post however choses the correct one.
GrosTenquin it is.
