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.

Close enough for government work, HH. The Lat/Long you have given is for a long defunct strip with my first picture actually being the UN strip some 3km West of that location. It was used extensively after Morocco annexed this bit of Western Sahara in the early 90s although required(s) mine clearance activity before every flight. The new runway is about 20nm North and doesn't appear on any charts/imagery.

Thank you - - I have to say it's rather an odd story - I was thinking Australia but as far as I was aware the UN haven't been active there. The Sahara is a very large place but I suddenly remembered a picture we received about 5 years ago.
We have Spanish friends - he worked for Medicin sans Frontiers after leaving the day job as a surgeon and she did voluntary work for refugees. They made a number of trips to the refugee camps in Algeria and Spanish Sahara and the pictures they sent looked very like your oblique tho no picture of the airstrip. Luckily there aren't many around - looks liek a hell of a spot TBH
Great challenge!!!

HH, what a wealth of clues! You make it so easy. Rolling hills in the distance, an ATR in distinctive livery consisting of a blue line, traffic cones and a crew member crooking a knee. I’m going to guess Mediterranean Spain or Greece. Or Romenia... or...

I'll take a punt at Milos, the Greek island of Venus de Milo fame. Only because I've been there and it looks vaguely possible... (and Olympic had a blue cheat line and operated ATRs)

Can't make it too easy with the first pic - I've had really obscure airports nailed in 38 minutes by the brains on here.... and I have the con because friends of ours had been to the ghastly W Sahara region and sent us a picture 5 years ago........ there are some seriously good people contributing to this thread
And yes Mediterranean ( and a very carefully cropped ATR) and Jensdad is even closer........
