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 can assure you the location was/is quite warm. There have been some interesting suggestions so far, most of which I visited during my time on 205, but none correct.
I'll post a couple more pictures later tonight which should (!) give the game away, otherwise a few clues will come. At least it makes a change to last more than a few hours.

The concrete battleship is Fort Drum, formerly El Fraile Island in the entrance to Manila Bay.
Good Morning Terry Dactil - your homing torpedo has hit the spot. Sangley Point it is (was), now known as Danilo Atienza Air Base.
The clue in the penultimate photo was the EC-121 wingtip, they operated out of there until it closed in 1971, but Sangley was the largest USN ASW base outside of the US at the time, with at least two resident P-3 Sqns (Cubi Bay was more for things off carriers).
The event was Ex Sea Rover, an annual SEATO ASW Ex, the format of which morphed into the Fincastle Trophy ( all Sqns operating from one base rather than the then competition of an adjudicating panel looking at results from different units and stations). Hopefully with the P-8 we will re-enter this excellent competition.
Over to you TD.
PS This was our 'score':
