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.

Apologies for any disappointment.
The picture posted was taken at a real, functioning, licensed, aerodrome.
However, in the interests of harmony, and as Jake suggests, Open House.

The answer to Father Bryne's challenge #post532 is ;
Cordoba (ODB / LEBA).
A perfectly reasonable challenge and quite standard fare.
Father B has declared Open House.

Sabredog, you are of course, correct.
Just to explain... RegDep asked whether he could assume something. Of course, he can assume what he likes, and so pedantically (but in a spirit of fostering potential misunderstanding to make the challenge a little more interesting) I said he could. I didn't add 'but you won't get any closer to the correct aerodrome!'. He was kind enough to drop me a PM, and I hope he enjoyed the shenanigans.
Others, it seems, took me literally and got one of those 'master caution - primary sense of humour' ECAMs, and I am sorry for mis-judging the tone, perhaps.
(In fact, once RegDep gave the aircraft type, you were all only a google image search from a very similar picture to mine, which I took when visiting there in the TB21 front of shot in my previous challenge, around the same time about 15 years ago...).

At risk of furthering the damage already done: CAP 168 (which is ICAO compliant to my best recollection) states in its glossary of terms:
Aerodrome
A defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure or surface movement of aircraft.

As we patiently wait for our Founding Father Mr. seacue to do his Deus Ex Machina routine, I'll hereby post the opening rules, with some bylaws promulgated by the members only moments his junior:

Mr seacue knows when to keep his distance and dignity - what little is left.
Resume play. But play nice.
Edited to add:
It does seem a stretch to consider a boat to be either
A piece of land where aircraft can take off and land, or
An established area of water where aircraft can take off and land.
A boat / ship is pretty mobile by definition, so its "established area" is established only fleetingly. An aircraft carrier provides facilities for both take-off and landing, but would fit much better in a What Ship? thread.
Use of a catapult may accomplish the take-off process, but I've never heard of an aircraft managing to alight on a catapult.
Let's stick to fixed location aerodromes, either on land or fixed areas of water with passenger or cargo facilities. Pan AM at Dinner Key, Coral Gables, Miami would be an example. Lakes in northern Canada might be border-line cases unless used very regularly.
Seacue has spoken in his most-pompous manner. He'll now go and sulk
Let's get the thread moving again..

Well, I don't know what that was all about but whilst I'm cooling off for a moment (it's very hot in the garden this afternoon) here's a nice easy one to get things going again; surprisingly it's not on the list and it shouldn't last long.

Olympus, yours is Denham Airfield, sometimes in the 60s, I believe.
And Mr. seacue, I fully agree. My posting SS Westfalen was considered at the time by me a piece of Aviation History, being the first civil aviation service "aerodrome" in the Atlantic for South America - Germany flights of Lufthansa. And even if not aviation authorities, both my French source and Popular Mechanics called it aerodrome, as I jokingly noted. Did not mean to be, and will pledge not to be unruly.

Looks somewhat `tropical`.?
