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.

Thanks dash7fan.
Decoys, eh? Cool. I see the odd one is still lying around the place, if GE is anything to go by.
Regrettably, I have nothing to hand which will pass (or rather, fail) the GI test, so OH.

Let's go back well into the past... The sheer size of the building is of course the first clue into the type of aviation that went on here....
and that's what it looks like nowadays

France or Germany?
France or Germany?
Antwerp
Another clue... the base was named after a 'lighter than air' military aviator who died in Passchendaele in 1918 when he was shot down during a reconnaissance mission. By coincidence, the question ‘France or Germany’ from the previous post, can be used here. His first name was of French origin and his last name was of German origin. The airbase had mainly (or even only) tethered balloons in its inventory.
[Edit] oops, I was interrupted while typing the post, and when finishing it, the right answer was already there!! Congrats asw22!!
Indeed, the pre WW II airbase in Zellik, named after Cpt-Cdr. Serge Eckstein, was turned into a military depot after WW II and de-militarised in 1995. This building is about the only thing that remains of the pre WW II era. On GE you can find it at 50°53'31.50"N 4°16'19.00"E

Hello!
> DIBO, It took some time to find this one...but with the clue "a lot of french but not France" and lighter than air...that was a nice one!
Here is my last proposal:
I will let you look for it a little bit. The general sector is my usual one...If needed I will give one clue later which will make the identifying sooo much easier....

I flew my virtual 'plane up and down the Somme to try to find the location, but failed miserably.
And I know the Somme in person quite well.
So I dont beleive the river in the picture is the Somme so a small clue required please asw.

Marne, rather than the Somme?
