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.

Max Tow,
I would follow up on your suspicion!

Well done, Max Tow. Abbotsford (CYXX) it is. Here are the Liberators at their home base:
Mt. Baker is the northernmost of the Cascade Volcanoes and not as well known as its southern neighbours. Like many places around the world, named by George Vancouver, after his third-lieutenant Joseph Baker, who first spotted it. Over 10,000' high and only 15 miles south of the Canadian border and 30 miles from Abbotsford. Here's a view of the mountain with Abbotsford's Gate Guardian in the foreground:
On a clear day, Mt. Baker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Baker) dominates at the skyline of the Lower Mainland. Here's a telephoto view from Passage Island, looking across English Bay to Downtown Vancouver. Mt. Baker is 78 miles away:
If there is ever a Mt. St. Helens-type eruption towards the northwest, it could have a serious impact on a relatively heavily populated area:
Max Tow has declared Open House.

Thanks I42 - I've been to YVR a couple of times but never noticed a volcano - perhaps that telephoto adds to the effect! Original thought was Etna & NAS Sigonella which look remarkably similar. OH.

However the mountain is often very obvious from the East coast of Victoria or when on the ferry to Vancouver, particularly in the late afternoon when it is illuminated by the setting sun.
I have a nagging feeling I've seen the challenge somewhere.. the TV dish on the Camper is probably pointing south (-ish) if we're in the N hemisphere
