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
I shall think out of the box...... the Benelux?
the field pattern is distinctive - very "modern" so possibly recovered from the sea in the last 100 years - like around Lelystad.
Thought t might be Middenmeer but can't see any large wind turbines close to it

looks too flat for the Duchy of Luxembourg so that leaves Belgium?
Hoevenen Airfield - right by the docks in N Antwerp
OH if correct

Here's an interesting one. There's a clue in the dark object surrounding the runway.
India 42 = Canada = Rockies = big fence
No Red blooded Canadian would be worried about people, rabbits, wild pigs, beavers or even deer on the runway - so something BIGGER - an Elk perhaps?
Which takes us to Sparwood/Elk Valley Airport (CYSW) in BC I think

"Elementary, my dear Watson."
Elk Valley it is indeed and the valley is well named. The anti-Elk fence is at least 8' high. I flew in for the first time with a friend in August. It is a bit disconcerting on short final when you cross the fence.
The valley is home to a couple of open-cast coal mines and these are not just holes in the ground. Whole mountains are being demolished!

Thank you Mycroft........... I see what you mean about those mines - must be over 5 kms across - not very scenic
What age are the coals?

Here's some serious thread drift. The coals are in the Mist Mountain Formation of the Jura-Cretaceous Kootenay Group.
