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.

Thanks. I had not heard of Maude. I shall look her up.

I couldn’t find much hangars with knuckled roof in Oz or NZ.
dook’s mascot was 1, Hokitika another.
Perhaps somebody in the night shift or in Oz and NZ will find it.
I am leveling-off.

Douglas Mill’s house is one of 15 houses at Hobsonville Airbase classified as a heritage building. These built heritage landmarks are being retained during the transformation of the former RNZAF base into a new housing estate. One of the reasons the house is being preserved is due the significance of Douglas Mill; one of New Zealand’s pioneer aviators.
Mill was one of the first fliers to see the potential for commercial aviation in New Zealand. In 1927 he established the Air Survey and Transport Company at Hobsonville. One of its specialities was aerial surveying and photography, but the company was also the New Zealand agent for Britain’s De Havilland Aircraft Company. As De Havilland’s agent the company imported and assembled De Havilland Moths and Tiger Moths, which Mill then sold to aero clubs throughout New Zealand.

Yes, it’s the site behind the TinyURL, beginning with B, that PPRuNe hates.
A tropical airport?
I had never heard of Max Boyce, but I do know of Noël Coward. Are we to look for places mentioned in Mad Dogs and Englishmen? A much longer song than I expected!
