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.

If dook had followed up the first comment there might have been progress. Were SLB to follow up the matter of the presumed estate, a consideration of the history of KLM in the 1930's might lead to a winning position.
I have often flown past this field at 250 feet, and now I regret good night.

The airfield is called Poulton and is owned by the Eaton Hall Estate (Duke of Westminster), the river being the Dee.(Don't see the KLM connection though; built 1942/43?)
OH again.

Poulton it is - KLM connection is 1934 Air Race to Melbourne. DC2 first on handicap, but first across the line was 'Grosvenor House,' and through 'Grosvenor' would have emerged The Duke of Westminster. Only 35 miles from Knotty Ash.
Guess whose birthday falls today? My next but superfluous clue. OH it is.

Give them to 18:00 UK time??
Looks typical Dutch meadows and acres.
But I do not recognize it in my country.
Therefore Northern Germany is more likely.
Also looks like a typical Luftwaffe concrete slap.
Like their famous Donk-Donk-donk Highways.
But they spread those over whole Europe.
