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
McClellan AFB Sacramento. (Ca - USA 
)
Nice aerial Graeme, but it was the date what dunnit.
By elimination, it seems the only significant B-47 unit still operating in 1967 was the 55th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron with WB-47Es - principally nuclear radiation sampling. BTW the CO was Col Hiram P Bilyeu and they got an Air Force Excellence award that year. LFH

Thank you Graeme. I think your flightline is up the top right corner of the aerial. McClellan is now a Coast Guard Air Station.
Here's an interesting one. I guess the photographer didn't want to hang around.

Or maybe somewhere near or on frozen Lake Ladoga during the siege of Leningrad?

Not Forus, Brian. Further north. This 'field' never had the same 'substance' or 'foundation' found at places like Forus. Though it was only operational for a month or so during the War, there has been some recent aviation 'activity' here.

... could it be Elga?
. Not Elga, but you're within 100 miles, so you're getting warmer. That was/is the big problem at both these 'fields.'

Most of the references to the JU-52 that sank there refer to it as Lake Hartvigvannet.
For example; Junkers Ju.52/3mg4e, 6821, Technikmuseum Speyer

Dave & David - I think they're all the same lake in different tongues. But Lake Hart **** worrevver is close to Narvik, which is way up north. You're right it's a frozen lake. And similarly, several German aircraft sank through the melting ice at the beginning of the Norwegian part of Operation Weserubung. Similarly, one/some have recently been recovered from this lake and these events have been publicly recorded. I get the impression that most of these frozen lake ops were all "Plan B" or " nur im Notfall verwenden !"
See my reply to TheiC yesterday
This challenge lake was apparently used for civil water operations before the war, and briefly by RAF flying boats at the end of WWII.
Call when you need mo' clue. LFH
