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
Dunno the airfield but what a lovely picture of an ideal multi purpose attack aircraft that woulldn't be too out of place in Libya/Afghanistan etc. OK it's ordnance load isn't the same as a Warthog but it must be close.

Good answers but so far not the one mentioned in the caption to the photo. The aircraft, as I am sure most of the experts on this forum know, is a Beaufighter of 219 Sqn.

Correct....sabredog has control.
I was in the "Goering Room" a couple of days ago. The "beam" still works although we had some difficulty finding the lever.

During WW2, Herman Goering used to hold court with the ME109 pilots in this room in the Officers mess. Apparently he would say that "if an RAF aircraft ever flies over Germany then that beam will fall down". Although it seems a very career-limiting thing to do, some officers rigged up a devise that caused the beam to drop about three inches. The next time that Mr Goering made that statement, one (unknown) officer pulled the lever and the beam dropped.
I could tell you where the lever is, but I'd have to shoot you
The room is now preserved as a museum, with photos of Herr Goering and the full story of the room displayed on the walls.
