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
Nothing new for a few days?
OK, here's one from me - I'm not sure of the etiquette here, as this airfield has featured before, but it's a lovely photo anyway!

Chevvron - Yes, Australia.
Lightning mate - NOT Watts Bridge (they'd wet themselves if they ended up with a sealed tarmac that size!).
Your lordship - Not CGI, the photo taken on a weekend fly-in (clue). The Chipmunk does have strakes btw, it's exactly as it came out of the RAF in 1975.

Tricky one that. With that amount of tarmac it had to be a service airfield. We could probably park our entire Airforce fleet on that tarmac !
Not airforce tho. It's Oakey which is Army.
Not able to post pics yet so OH

OOPS...too late!!

LFH - correct, it is Oakey.
Thankyou Dora. Apologies for the CGI remark - Place looked so smart I wondered if it was for real- now I understand - Army Rule No 1 - I hope they saluted you ..... and trust you didn't leave the Chippy stationary for too long ...
Now for something rather cooler -
Edited - the C-123 was too easy - try this instead. LFH

LFH - if I may distract from your current poser for a minute, no offence taken at your CGI suggestion.
LM - well identified, the Chipmunk is indeed VH-SSJ (exWK507), .
The event was a fly-in to support the Museum of Army Aviation (located off to the left of frame). It was held on a Sunday, hence the empty tarmac. It was a stunning clear day, here is part of the gaggle on their way home later in the day:

Dora - any time. I got my first "air experiences" on Chipmunk, Anson and Auster. Always pleased to see them still flying.
Chevy - Not Iwo Jima - wrong hemisphere. This field opened in the late 30s and was closed by the 80s.

Hey Krakatoa, last time I looked Iwo Jima and Northern Ireland were in the "same hemisphere". 
LFH,
The topography looks tropical. Is this in the Bismarck/Solomon Sea area?
PS Lovely pictures, Dora 9

Oops fellas, my mistake - slack language - that's the problem with knowing where it is. How many hemispheres have you got ?I meant Western rather than Eastern - as opposed to Northern rather than Southern.
So - Western hemisphere but not Northern Ireland.
Northern hemisphere so not Bismarck/Solomon Sea (and not tropical.)
That should narrow it down. Apologies to all.
ps I'd better go and check the defo of Western hemisphere. ****
Okay, further edit after 5 mins - I've found four definitions already so let's just say this is somewhere between 90 deg West and 90 deg East and I am not claiming that as a hemisphere - before this gets me into any more trouble.
