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.

As it is Open House.
This has been done before, but with a modern photo, these are a little more historical. Almost all the buildings shown here still exist.
The title on the source of the photo below is "A modern airport at ?"
Both photos taken in 1943

LFH - you are correct, Accra, Gold Coast - as it was then.
I guess too much is the same for you to have been mislead with the the stars and stripes and the vehicles driving on the correct side of the road in the modern airport image
For those interested, here is the unedited source image of the 1st photo.
The following interesting image is described as "Near Accra air base a familiar pattern for approaching pilots is formed by these huts for native troops across from the British hospital barracks. The four small huts behind the buildings are shower stalls"
Open House it is

Correct - Wideawake on Ascension Island. Thought it wouldn't last long.
Not sure if I would like to be in the aircraft behind the one taking off or landing.
Open House once again

HD-34 (of the IGN ?) suggests it's French North African territory somewheres - after that ........ Is that a row of parked aircraft in the top left distance with the Atlas mountains behind. Distinct lack of activity at lunchtime ! And not a Tricouleur in sight.
Hippo - Re Accra - it wasn't the Stars & Stripes that gave it away (not enough screen resolution here) it was the Pith Helmets. LFH
