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.

A few years before the above photo, the pilot of a flight departing from here achieved an aviation first. This did not receive as much publicity as it might have done because the attention of the world's press was diverted elsewhere at the time.

Are these guys doing break-dancing to the audience 
?
It's the Whitfield Aerodrome, Dover.
And the first event you are talking about is the first flight from England to Germany, which took off from Whitfield on 18th April 1913. Flown by Gustav Hamel with a passanger in an 80hp Bleriot monoplane, he did the 245 mile journey non stop, in 258 minutes, through rain and hail storms, landing in Cologne.
Or, maybe: Harriet Quimby, the first woman to fly the Channel (1912), using Gustav Hamel's biplane, see above.

Whitfield, Dover it is Reg. I was refering to Harriet Quimby's flight which was pushed off the front pages by the sinking of the Titanic two days earlier.
You have it.
