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
In desperation ...
Can we get Africa out of the way please ? ie - is it in Africa ?
Is that a shoreline or an escarpment at the end of the road ? Or just the mists of photographic antiquity ?
That should narrow it down. LFH

Here is the clue relating to 1473.
If you know which country and what sort of picture this is, the name of the aerodrome should be easy to come by.

I guess this aerodrome is too unknown as there is virtually nothing on the web about it.
The aerodrome in question was Tsuchiura Naval Airbase in Japan, which was located at 36 05' 01"N 140 15' 32"E.
The airbase was built for the British Air Mission to Japan in 1922, and I'm guessing that the straight "road" towards the lake is some sort of transportation for float planes. The information about this (and a previous aerodrome at Kasumigaura) have come from a book called "Brackles - Memoirs or a Pioneer of Civil Aviation" compiled by Frida H, Brackley.

Thanks evansb. I didn't realise quite how many bodies of water there are in Canada until I started looking for your mystery aerodrome. Your clue certainly narrowed it down a lot 
.
I hope that this overhead shot is a bit easier than my last offering:
