Which Aerodrome?
 

Moderator note: In the interest of keeping this thread running smoothly please observe the following 'rules'.

- 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 idenitifies 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.

- There will only be one challenge running at a time.

MReyn24050 has been kind enough to create a page which tracks previous challenges: http://www.geocities.com/artificer35...0108.htm?20085

As suggested elsewhere by evansb, which aerodrome is this?
As in Which Cockpit, lets try to use elderly photos and not Google Earth pics.

Which airport??
 

Washington National, or Reagan as it is called today.

Brian.

What Aerodrome?
 

This could be fun. The shot of Washington National is a good example of what should be posted in this forum, as it could drift into What Control Tower? or What Terminal Building?. I look forward to the challenge.:ok:

Fully expects to see a pic of an unidentifyable grass field surrounded by pine trees later on in the thread.

Pardon me for having to be away most of the day.
Yes, Speedbird had it in one. Washington National Airport in about 1950. Now officially Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Interior shot in 1952. There was a row of checkin stations under the balcony to the left. That balcony was a fine place for plane-watching until they messed it up with pay TV seats.

Saab Dastard: Art Deco airport so probably middle thirties origin. I have never been to Shoreham, but that looks like what I would expect it to look like on the domestic side ie not airside.

Saab Dastard's challenge
 

It is not Shoreham, but it is Collinstown Airport Dublin.
Mel

Ummmmm, I reckon it's the old terminal at Birmingham (UK).

Saab Dastard's challenge
 

As stated at Post #8 it is Dublin's Collinstown Airport Old Terminal Building.

Next Challenge
 

My guess would be Midway, Chicago KMDW. Long ago with Capital Airlines extension at the right.

If this is a winner, let's let Speedbird48, who missed his/her go, take over.

I'll be away again today.

Mel's Challenge
 

Sorry seacue this one is not Midway, Chicago KMDW.

Pittsburgh, PA, (KPIT)?

Mel's Challenge
 

Sorry Bri. It is not Pittsburgh, PA, (KPIT).

Dublin EIDW?

Mel's Challenge
 

oscarh Not Dublin EIDW I am afraid.
Mel

Is it Stockholm Arlan?

Mel's Challenge
 

Saab Dastard. Not Stockholm Arlan in fact this one is not this side of the 'pond'.
Mel

Sure are a lot of taxiways, etc, for such a small terminal. Is it dual-use civilian and military?

The connie doesn't help much since at least TWA, Eastern and Capital flew them domestically.

Probably not much after 1960 because of the DC-3 apparently in airline service.

I'm stumped.

Baltimore?
