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.

Helicopter airfield
May be I'm not allowed posting here and now. But it's an interesting photo.
Does anyone know where this airfield might be? I don't, by the way. I think it's in Germany.

Txs. for Salalah pics (I remember the 1966 version as well, great!). I am stuck technically with PC/scanner probs. so cannot post a new pic.. Maybe you would like to carry on. Apologies, Bill.

Hello!
It is indeed Wildenrath. I have had this idea in mind early as well, but you need to look at the GE image of year 2000 (!!!) to have a chance to identify relevant details (by the way the center of the hangar on the photo is about there: 51.118156 6.225298).
Now in 2015 Siemens has but eradicated most of the taxiways, hangars buidings etc...
Sad!

Wildenrath ?
Are you sure that is Wildenrath, photo seems from a PR Canberra by info on bottom of photo (I was on 17PR Sqd at Wildenrath) could name the crew as well, the Pembrokes are outside what you would assume is 60 Sqd but at the time of the picture there were no helicopter landing pads alongside 60, plus they only had one hangar with the AAC to the right in low shed type buildings, plus Air Movements was to the left of of the hangar, there should be a road running straight up away from roughly the back of the hangar up to the main drag and the railway line is missing, PH.

z2 - it's Wildenrath alright. The railway is visible (just) top left, and the distinctive shape of the woods top centre is as it was on the 1964 topo and still is today on Google Earth. Not much else left. But why did they want a photo of 60's apron?
As I'm unable to post photos, here's a different slant.
The first series of 'Doc Martin' is being re-shown on saturday afternoons. Last saturday's episode had the Doc and the local plod driving across what was clearly an airfield, probably disused. As just about all the filming was done in the west country, I have tried to identify which airfield this might be.
The initial choices were Predannack, Perranporth or Portreath but looking further afield, I reckon it was more likely to be Davidstow Moor based on the narrow public road across the airfield and the wooded area on one side.
Can anyone conform this?

Indeed that's the Sennelager Winning Mühle. In the mid 80s we used to take the Gütersloh harrier force that way but I don't recollect the force ever using that particular strip.
It is indeed the Winningmühle Strip on Sennelager close to Bad Lippspringe. It was one of Hitler's secret airfields in the 1930s. The control tower was disguised as a windmill and the few technical buildings that were left were done up in a mock-Tudor style. I succeeded twice in doing a touch-and-go during gaps in the traffic. Great fun!
To keep the thread alive, I offer not "Which Aerodrome" but offer "Why Aerodrome"
Why would airfields have parallel runways set in a diamond (or square) layout?
I give you the first one as Pekin (if only because I put a pin there.)
But where is this one? (evidently one of the runways has been extended at some point.
and why were the airfields constructed in this manner?
