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
Wrong provinces guys
Evansp and Sabredog were closest when the went swanning around in Nova Scotia but still in the wrong province.
Previous clue not an island should help too.

You can still see the Airport on Google earth.

Thanks, that was a good hunt, not sure how many airfields in Cananda I've looked at this morning - although I was mislead by the "not on an island" clue. Thought this lead to not on Cape Breton so in Nova Scotia or not on Newfoundland so in Labrador.
The view on Bing is a much clearer image, and I've just found that website which states "but of the original seven hangars, only two remain, extensively renovated for industrial use" - they all look like they are still there
OK here's my next aerodrome - surprised that this was not on the list. Photos from 2 different years.

Re RCAF Scoudouc
Yeah - i was waiting for someone to guess Goose Bay AKA Booze Gay.
Hard to give clues that narrow the search but don't give the game away.
A friend sent me the photo and I immediately thought of this thread.
A little research was needed as I originally thought this was a photo of the Moncton airport itself.
Learn something new every day.
Well done.

albatross - I'm learning that about clues, aerodromes I though would last a while, the first clue and they're gone. I guessed Goose Bay - not because it had any similarity to your picture, but because it was the only RCAF base in Labrador.
Although sometimes I guess the clue in the picture is too easy - as for the ones of Croydon which olympus has got first time. The first photo is from the airshow in 1980, the second from 1988.

I think this is the Embraer factory airfield which is reputed to have the world's fourth longest runway although I can't imagine why.

We enjoy this thread so much being history buffs it might be fun is the person posting the photo posted some links with the airfield history after someone has found the airfield in question no mandatory but interesting if possible.
I know for some of the places in the outback this is not possible.

I'll second that.
I spend some time researching the aerodromes I post, and try to add some of the facts I've discovered when the aerodrome is revealed (usually far too early - before I've exahusted my clues
).
I'm please to see that someone else likes to see additional information as well.

Your turn.
