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
Looks similar to Plough Lane to me, but if it's Hamble, wasn't there a railway line somewhere?
Course Manston is another place with effectively two airfields separated by a public road; not sure about Sealand; was there a road between north and south airfields?

Not Hamble
Not Manston or Sealand
Plough Lane isn't an aerodrome, but a road, so if this is Plough Lane, the aerodromes would be...
My next clue would be:
Looks like a new barn in the the farm buildings

Correct - in the 2nd picture, Waddon is this side of the road and Beddington is on the far side with New Barn Farm in the middle.
TheiC has control.
Beddington opened in 1915, Waddon in January 1918, with Croydon coming into existance in 29 March 1920. Plough Lane, New Barn Farm and the hangers and offices in the centre were only demolished in 1928

Apologies,
In the Lake District with very limited internet, and rather like Cherie Blair without her 'contraceptive equipment' I haven't got my aerodrome equipment to hand, so open house please...

I'll take advantage of the Open House. I'm sure this aerodrome has been done before, but I couldn't resist the appropriate seasonality of this picture.
I can't find any ICAO reference to the non-standard lights
Here's a clue: Taken today at 0810 local. Sunrise was 0850.

nvubu,
That's the one - CYXD, Edmonton City and previously Edmonton Muni. A mere shadow of its former self, with the main runway having been ripped up and only one shortened runway left.
You have control.

Thank you.
Here's the next aerodrome - a nice easy one - a very big clue is right in front of you. Suprised to find that this no longer exists.

Seen this pic before; I think it's at Victoria Falls. Not sure if the airfield has a different name.
OH if correct.

It is the original Victoria Falls Airport - Sprayview Airport, sadly no more. It was called Victoria Falls for scheduled flights.
Only 2km from the falls, fantastic for the flight over the falls.
