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.

Sorry, not Melksham. It was very much an "operational" aerodrome'. Ultimately, the airfield had a total of six of those hangars. The concrete foundations of the hangars are still very much visible on Google Earth. The runways are also visible.

Yes, Duckbutt, it is Mossbank, Sask. Canada.
It was home of the BCATP's #2 B&G S (Bombing and Gunnery School). From 1940 to 1944, the base processed 6000 students.
Today, the airfield is abandoned, but the RCAF Snowbirds use the airfield to practice low-level fly-bys for airshows. The northern portion of the airfield is a golf course.

My best guess would be the harbour at St Peter Port.
I spent a large part of my early aviation career flying into and out of GCI so became very familiar with the view of the town and harbour from the air.

It's actually the French seaplane base at at the 'Castle Emplacement', between the harbour and the model yacht pond in Guernsey. The latter was drained and the site used for a hangar and accomodation huts.
I know because I had that same pic prepared for this thread at some appropriate time in the future.
Your call Olympus.

Correct Oly - only being picky for the purists you understand. We've had "Guernsey" before - but twas the International that time.
Sorry I pinched your idea Ducky.
As Duckbutt already knows -
French flying boat base in Guernsey St Peter Port harbour mid 1917 – early 1919.
Tellier 200 and possibly FBA flying boat (type unspecified) up to a dozen, due to the very successful submarine war being waged by Germany against allied shipping principally in this case, in Channel and UK coastal waters. View looking north. LFH
Oly has control.
