PPRuNe Forums Thread Wiki: Which Aerodrome Mk IV

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 (Open House). Anyone may then post the next challenge.
  • If the winner of the challenge does not respond within 48 hours, to the notification of their success, an Open house can be declared when there is consensus between multiple other posters which are on-line.
  • (if you in know in advance that you will not be able to follow up with an own challenge you can post your answer with "(Open House when proven correct)"
  • 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 to be 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 too much Google Earth,Zoom Earth or any other online map pics.
  • Try to post images that are not already present on internet, as Google Image Search will find them if they are. Searching by using Google Image Search, or programs a-like, is ought not to be done.
  • 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.
  • Due to obsessive posters in the past, the web moderators have enforced the 24-hour rule:
Each challenge shall run at least 24-hours before a winner is declared by the original poster. This is to enable all Ppruners to search for the challenge and to contribute. ˇ This is not a competition, no points are assigned to the winner. Please be careful when posting your answer early, especially when you intend to declare Open House. Much other Ppruners are put-off if the answer is already given and you still have to wait till the initial 24-hours are over anyway. Anyone can edit this Wiki post provided they have been member of Pprune for 90 days and have minimum 90 posts. But please let's get consensus before changing and not go crazy.

It's Germany, but not the islands.
And yes that's a public road. The traffic lights are turned to red when a pilot reports turning final.

A bit generous with the clues there Andy. I reckon Robbie Williams would know.

It was more of a 'stocking-filler' to keep things moving

However you seem to be a bigger Robbie fan than me

Not really, but I thought it more appropriate than Kipling as he wrote his poem in the late 1800s

24hrs must be up by now...

Anyway, yes as the others have hinted above, it's Mandalay (MDL/VYMD). The Falcon 900 brought in some German doctors in January 2008 doing some work on behalf of a German friend of ours who ran a series of schools and projects throughout the country.

MDL was also briefly famous when the White Elephant AKA Solar Impulse 2 visited in 2015...The back up crew for this project had to be seen to be believed...An IL-76, ATR-72 a huge inflatable hangar c/w generators to keep it all running(AND to charge the supposedly solar powered bird which actually couldn't fly during the day due to thermals!) and gawd knows how many technicians and crew They were actually an interesting bunch and came and flew with us and had breakfast with us in Bagan.






it's up to ea200 to come up with something that lasts longer than 20 minutes

Not in France. It's a NATO country but there has never been any NATO presence there AFAIK.
