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
Well done Flap40. Usinsk in the Komi Republic. I flew in there in the early 90s in a chartered Canadian mining-company 727. Although the 727 was so old that it still had hat-racks rather than overhead lockers, it was the most modern aircraft ever seen in Usinsk. People were lined up to take tours through it.
Flap40 has declared Open House.

It looks cold and miserable. Aleutians?
So, cold and miserable and Bluie then?

Ha ha - I didn't look very far.
OK. It's on that list.
The photo might be a "bit" misleading in that it is a 360 degree panorama, and the sloping hills at the left and right are actually parts of the same mountain. The photo is in infra-red.

OK. After saving the photo and zooming-in and then doing some Google Earthing, I think it's Bluie West 8 aka Sondrestrom, now Kangerlussuaq airport.

Not according to the document I'm looking at dated 1944.
I had to shrink the image to show it here (3730 pixels wide) - this is a link to the full size image - It will download from OneDrive, save it with a .jpg on the end as OneDrive files get a really meaningless name.
edit to add: when I zoom in I'm fairly sure that this isn't a 360 degree view as the source document states, but rather a 180 degree panorama of stitched together images as I can match the existing features to those in the photo.

Yes, I assumed it was 180 degrees.
Well, my alternative guess is Bluie West One - Narsarsuaq airport.

Great challenge.
Yes, I looked at some of those weather station locations - pretty remote places!
I don't have a picture to post so Open House.
