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.

Not sure about a bulldozed aircraft, but the photo was taken in 1947. During WW.II damaged aircraft were indeed pushed into the surf. The aerodrome was struck off in 1966, and is no longer visible on Google Earth.

Hello all!
I see some people tread in my domain of choice
...
The origins of Merville Calonne are not so clearly visible on this view: it was created as a French "platform of operations" in 1937 (just a grass square), then enormously developed by the Germans around 1941/1942 with three concrete runways, and many hangars/revetments (30+).
As was their standard practice the Germans developed the airfield outside the original french airfield thus leaving the original airfield operational (during Battle of Britain He111 bombers from KG4 and Do17 from KG2 were using the original french airfield).
The photo I join shows clearly the orignal airfield in clear grey and the three german runways....I would have used this one, had the timing been right

This thread has gone very quiet. Here's one:
Not Filton. Note the shape of the fin.
Hangar in the background appears to have a sign with a bottom line 'Air Service Ltd' so I'll plump for Heston.(Nice 3 -pointer about to happen)
Note no gun fitted to the turret and no squadron letters. Interesting chimney(?) in the background but no cooling towers so unlikely to be Croydon.
Sorry to ramble on, not much happening at work today!
