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
we had that earlier - I posted it - and I don't think so
Interesting hill/mountain in the distance on the challenge

Someone wake up India42..................
I'm here! Just a bit slow getting up these days, while counting down the last days of my quarantine!
I'm confused by UV's comment. I live in Alberta, which, as far as I know, is the only jurisdiction in North America, where cars don't have front number plates. Saves the government a lot of money, but must really irritate the cops.
An airfield on flat land with a prominent hill in the distance. I don't know of any hills like that on the Prairies. I had a look at Abbotsford and Boundary Bay in the Fraser Delta, but those don't fit the bill.
The predominantly white number plates might indicate Ontario.
Left hand drive cars with front number plates so not USA.

India Four Two takes it with Boundary Bay. Nice deduction Holmes - it fits the bill.

Well, well!
I dismissed Boundary Bay because I couldn't find the yellow traffic barriers, but my inspection was too cursory! Here they are:
Now I'm going to have to find that hill. It must be in the US - there's a reason the airport is called Boundary Bay.
Nothing to hand, so Open House.
PS The hill looks like it is on the peninsula immediately south of the border, just west of Blaine.

As it is Open House, I'll start the weekend: link to a large image here if anyone wants to try to identity the aircraft.

are they Me-262's north or above 3 the hangers?
nvubu,
Tricycle gear not necessarily required.
I remember reading that Me262s were first identified by PRU because of the scorch marks on the grass, created by the early Schwalben.

However I think the scorched grass tale does have a reasonable pedigree but I can't lay hands on it
Are we in France?

dook has it with Ausburg Haunstetten - the Messerschmidt factory airfield. I'm fairly sure that the aircraft are Me 410s.
