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.

Correct!
Ikateq airfield. Still remarkably good condition.
Apparently the government have agreed to fund a clean up of all the detritus from when it was abandoned in the '40s. Mostly empty fuel drums but also lots of trucks and machinery.
Over to you.

Thanks.
It must have been a real fun place to be posted to during the war.
I think I would have preferred a Pacific island instead.
Nothing handy here, so open house.

Harry,
The pedant in me says that one out of two is not good enough - but that one is the airport name so on the basis of the old controllers bond well done! Bonriki it is.
Check out the latitude and you'll need to reconsider the "South Pacific"
The USMC are certainly recovering remains from the Battle of Tarawa and repatriating them home with appropriate ceremony on the apron. On Tuesday last that was complete with a three star. The second C17 airlift of this type we've seen this year and the recovery team are still on site.
Great to see the first operational use of the new lights was for the departure of that aircraft and its significant cargo.

Excellent challenge TBH
Only got it so fast as I've been there - that's what triggered the idea - and I'd seen several bits about repatriating bodies over the last few years.......
Not quite as remote as Tuvalu but still.............. nice people at both
