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.
 Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

Which Aerodrome Mk III
Overheads are Silverstone, but the original photo isn't 'cos as far as I'm aware, Silverstone never had 'C' type hangars, so how about Waddington?

Silverstone it is.
The other photo appeared in this article about Silverstone, and I rather assumed it was Silverstone. However, all the suggestions kept going north rather than south, so I guess it isn't.
I've found an original source of this image here - still doesn't say where it is, although the caption below might help?
Apologies for what seems to be an incorrect posting, or at least my incorrect answers

Your control.
Anyone got an answer to the challenge at #2268? I think we've established it's not Silverstone as the overheads show 5 Bellman/T2 hangars with max 2 together, whereas the photo shows 3 'C' types grouped together plus a Bellman/T2, or possibly a T1, plus a distinctive non standard 'watch office/control tower, the 'C' types being mostly built pre-war. As far as I can make out on my 10'' screen there appear to be several Hurris parked near the hangars.

The original picture of 2268 is in the Hulton archieve of Getty images, it shows the entire frontage of the hangars plus some more buildings and a tall tower backed by rising woodland on the left end. Difficult to make out detail on my small screen.

If it is a 5740/36 tower the the options are Ternhill, Shawbury, Little Rissington, Hullavington & South Cerney.
All except Ternhill have the tower built in front of the hangar. Ternhill is the only one with the tower between two hangars and the difference in angle between the two hangars also seems to fit.
