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.

Well it is apparently a gliding airfield, not so many military ones of those around east of the Atlantic, it could be that the Sports facilities are an adjacent property and nothing to do with the airfield whatsover, looks like both clay and a grass tennis courts, what is that next door, what sport would be played on such a prim and proper grass, maybe bowls, and what is that behind the tennis courts, could that be a 400m sports circuit? ... It actually looks like a banked cycling circuit.

I had to look into some of the questions
indeed East of Atlantic
indeed military premises to the north of the airfield but no longer related to airfield
Not a Bowls court.
No 400m track or banked cycling bowl either.
Not purely glider field.

Ah my home field. I won't participate in this search (too easy) and leave it to others.
The MH-17 part is a surreal personal experience. I had one of my first flying lessons on the day the motorcade with the bodies arrived at the base. I passed them on my way to the airfield. No better way to get you back to reality.

‘ZG has it with Hilversum.
Archer, thanks for sharing your personal experience
All human remains from the MH-17 crash were brought to the Dutch army medical service base for autopsy and identification. The first (and main) transport arrived in an Australian C17 on Eindhoven Air base.
A motorcade of 50 hearses transported them to Hilversum.
Along the route (100km) people formed a honorary hedge.
To give an indication of the impact of this disaster onto the Dutch people:
By percentage we had more victims than the Americans at 9/11.
Archer, may I invite you to take up the Open House?

If you would have clipped the photo left of AC/DC and would have made the advert PilznerUrquel unreadable it might have last a bit longer!
But let never get a good challenge get in the way of a nice picture.
Did you enjoy the concert?

Morning,
SLB sussed my 'tradecraft', Pilzner Urquell and JIP (a Czech cash-and-carry chain) trucks were strong pointers, but I have been to Letnany for a (very lame) GA tradeshow once.
How was your landing there, strewn with potholes, I recall?

Yes the runway was indeed full with potholes. And because of the concert we had to use a very tight circuit on the south side over the military base. 45 degree turn from downwind to final on a very hot day. I kept the speed higher than normal to prevent the wingdip. It made the landing roll a rollercoaster.
