I have serious misgivings about adding this aerodrome.
1/ it is already given in 765967497
2/ it has long been closed, and looks very much abandoned now
3/ the gven UKRW code comes from a rather doubtful source, it likely dates from Soviet times.
In intend to remove this entry, and review the other one mentioned.

Welcross was an obvious typo by myself, I checked sources and they all have Wellcross. Corrected now. Thanks for keeping an eye!

Ah, I think I found: https://ourairports.com/airports/PT-0042/ may be the origin of error. At least one site has a very bad reputation for mentioning the internal codes of ourairports as "icao" codes, which they clearly are not.

Es geht mich nicht um die Piste an sich; wohl um die verwendung des Tags "ref". Richtige ref waere "09H/27H" oder so; sowas ist aber nicht gegeben im Satellitenbild.

Could you kindly leave the local_ref tags in place? Thanks!

The restaurant I put back like it was - the mapping was perfect as it was, I am quite annoys that anyone wanted to fuss around. I must admit the opening hours got lost somewhere in the action, and I cannot find them back. Shame on me!

Took a further look abroad, and came across node/2085246219 - the Dutch national airport Schiphol in the Madurodam miniature Holland.
An inspiration?

142590009 about 2 years ago

Don't be sarcastic, please. If you really want the miniature airport mapped, perhaps you could use aerodrome=miniature? Something similar has been done for the railways in that park. I have not looked at other such miniature parks, though.

The use of "aeroway=aerodrome" is restricted to real aerodromes where a real aeroplane can land. Even fields for radio-control planes and drones are not so tagged. I intend to remove your addition.

142590009 about 2 years ago

What is the use of this addition ?? Are you really claiming there is a real size aerodrome here??

142430875 about 2 years ago

.. and you immediately re-removed it. Nice! Sincere thanks and the kindest regards from Portugal!

142430875 about 2 years ago

what is the source for the icao code added? I suspect it to indicate the former RAF Rufforth, not the present airstrip.

Thanks for quick and polite and useful reply! But I think you have been fooled - no blame on you! GEN 2-4 is a recent addition to several AIPs, and it lists location indicators, noyt (or not necessarily) aerodromes. I think the code should be removed from the aerodrome, since it is not an aerodrome identifier, only a location indicator.

I am sceptical about this addition. There is however precious little info available on the www. es.wikipedia speaks of a single aerodrome serving both fixed wing and helicopters. The ICAO code LETN I cannot find referenced anywhere, not even with Enaire themselves.
What are your sources?

141555727 over 2 years ago

IATA code no longer assigned. It had already been removed half a year ago, didn'y you see??? Re-adding comes close to a revert war, which is a kind of vandalism.

141555783 over 2 years ago

The IATA code that you added is NOT assigned. Please verify your data more carefully! For IATA codes the sole reference is https://www.iata.org/en/publications/directories/code-search/?airport.search=ZMG

Thank you. It is an eternal problem that people find some information somewhere on the web and copy it to other places without ever questioning or validating it. I meanwhile found icao=UK61 on en.wikipedia, too, I removed it there.
Keep up the good work!

141198547 over 2 years ago

UK61 is in no case a valid icao code. I now changed it to a "local_ref". But where does it come from? What is the source?

140815150 over 2 years ago

Thanks for your efforts! Unfortunately, they are a bit out of place, in fact we already have a fair description of the aerodrome in wwww.openstreetmap.org/node/11167473342
I intend therefore to re-remove your well-meant addition, we try to avoid having double information in our database.

139456222 over 2 years ago

Ok, I will then proceed to remove it. Regarding openairports: I think it is a sisterproject of OSM, and builds upon the same database. Thanks for quick and polite reply! Kindly from Potugal,
