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.

Yes that would almost certainly be the place, Finncapt. The AN2 together with an AN24 were left stranded there in 1983 when the USMC used Pearl's as a staging post during the 1983 invasion. Pics of both these aircraft in a servicable condition at the time of the invasion can be found at:

They remain to this day but to say the least, they are somewhat more 'shop soiled' now, 2007 pics at:

Pearls Airport AN-2
Interesting that the "Cuban" AN-2 is in Aeroflot markings.

Yes, I thought that, but I seem to remember it was definitely the Cubans who invaded.
I expect google has the answers somewhere.
I wonder what the markings on the AN24 are/were.
If it was an Aeroflot crew, I hope they got a long range premium payment and a decent layover!!!!

Finncapt, the only pic I could find of the AN26 (other sources call it an AN24) in decent condition is this one. Not a good angle but will give you an indication of the livery:
A better shot of the tail (behind the AN2) can be seen in India Four Two's pic above.

Lest we forget the present challenge, might I ask Soddit whether the airport in question is in fact within 30 degrees of longitude west of Suez..?

Australia?
Much too far east....I had rather expected that you would get this very quickly. This airport serves a place which has undergone a change of identity since the picture was taken..
