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
Must be back to Russia again....
That white camouflaged Ju 52 complete with a yellow fuselage band would certainly suggest the Eastern Front.
Is Volgograd - maybe Gumrak (now VOG)?
Gumrak was one of the 7 fields they used and is the only one still in use I believe - which is why I chose it as it has "and interesting history"

Good morning gentlemen.
This place was held by 5500 Germans for three months under heavy siege from the Russians.
They could only be supplied by air. The only other support they had was from German artillery ten miles away.
Just under a quarter survived.

nvubu strikes with Kholm.
Aircraft did land there before the area shrank, as evidenced by the photograph.
You have the thread.

During the conflict some 2,000 sorties were flown - initially by JU-52's and then gliders. The change of approach was forced by a 30% loss rate in aircraft. As the 'kessel' area was compressed because of the intensity of the fighting, the airfield became part of 'no mans' land and each glider landing was greeted by frantic efforts from both sides to retrieve the valuable contents.

Thanks dook, the give away was the 5500 defenders.
I'm currently sitting at a hockey club where the temperature is close to 30 degrees C. So here's one where the temperature is closer to 30 degrees F.

All I can establish at the moment is probably the 391st Bomb Group of the 573rd Bomber Squadron.
Europe maybe Belgium or Vitry en Artois France.
