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.

The 42’s slightly bigger brother; it gets about a bit. This place has been done before but from a different angle. We’re looking North West with the runway to the right of view.
Response is here & not for the first time, one`s hand is raised. Likely a bit quick on the final couple of buttons pressed, thanks to Jenkins tutorial. That was not the plan, so apologies are in order. Regards.
+1 for Bayt al Falaj
Thread drift.
Heard a story about the Beaver and Piston Provost at Bait.
In the mess, when the Beavers were new, an argument was going on about which aircraft could fly slower, so a race was flown.
At low level above the runway the two aircraft flew side by side with the Provost going slower until the two guys on the beaver pushed the doors open with their feet and flew even slower to win the race.
IIRC Bait closed in 1975 when Seeb was opened. When I arrived in 76 the runway was still there. It then became the town of Ruwi.

I've never been to Bait al Falaj (never even heard of it until now!) but if it closed in 1976, then I'd say the photo just looks a bit too recent for it to be there?
Funnily enough, I see what you mean, chevvron: the hangars have the look of Teesside about them. Replace the sand with snow and it's a good shout.

Nice photo of the Beverley & as Jenkins quite rightly says from 84 Sqn, my photo was from the Mk1 Andover (1967/8) next aircraft type off the rank in 84 colours. A great first operational tour for many of us back in those happy days.
