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
So it wasn't part of France "then", or was in France, but operated by a non-French air force?
Well, that narrows down the search a bit! 
Found it. Sarrebourg - Buhl LFGT.
Sneaky orientation - I was looking for an east-west canal!
JENKINS,
I think your dog was close, but in the wrong neighbourhood.

That's the one. I was going to post that north is approx. <------------- way.
I can't believe how little has changed over the last 100 years. The bridge over the canal has been taken up and the road diverted. The hangers have gone and some houses have encroached.
There is surprising little written about this airfield that I can find. Built by Germany pre war, so in aviation terms very old.
This is about the most detailed history: https://translate.google.co.uk/trans...hl&prev=search

Thanks - great challenge. I must have looked at every airfield from Dunkirk to Strasbourg, but kept missing the NE corner!
Still unable to login to Photobucket, so here's an attachment. I thought of this airfield, when I saw nvubu's last challenge.

Trust a Canuck to get it right!

Definitely a Canadian hangar. The trees would indicate somewhere in Ontario or points east.
Tricky one.
If it's where I think it is, none of the buildings in the photo survive, with the hangars and one of the runways under a freeway (though some were still there when I visited in the 1980s).
If it helps anyone, I was privileged to get a tour of the aircraft restoration workshops.
