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.

I am misericordious and will provide one clue:
JG2 - transition to Bf 109F

Well I've found a copy of the 'hangar' photo which is labled 'Beauvais' but I can't tie in the first pic with anything on Google Earth though.
Perhaps later development of the nearby airfield together with the autoroute service area have changed the layout too much.

No, it is not Beauvais (Tillé), nor is it Nivillers. Look up north...The Fighter HQ I am referring to was code-named "PLUTO" by their german users...
Beauvais Tillé and Nivillers form a meta-airfield, they are connected together and in the case of Tillé are concrete runway equipped.
The photo I propose to your sagacity shows no such thing... If the hangar has been labelled Beauvais elsewhere, it is wrong but understandable; Beauvais had a great many hangars camouflaged as "farms" including a couple of them workshops 40 or 50m wide which warranted themselves this kind of "manor" camouflage.
If one looks closely to the photo you will notice two 40m hangars of this type. They have now disappeared but another airfield nearby has kept its example (devoid of the camouflage now!)...which makes it rather unique (only one other survivor of the type in Creil, this one never camouflaged)...
