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.

OK - I thought it might have been from the end of the Jaguars' RAF life when some were flown into Cosford - quite a short runway for a Jag.
I have nothing to hand at present, so OH continues.

My OH, but now home with time, so one of my Google pics. One of this parish will have used this field, but should be asleep at the moment. No comment on the Sycamore slur! Is there IOM antecedence therein?
J, if you mean ancestral home..yes....no slur intended if you walked away...as I did 3 times..
Now to the `Thorney` subject ,;operated a TS project out of there early`70s attached to a `whirling dervish` up and down the coast,at 10-20 ft.......later to cause much consternation in the SA fracas.....OH ...if correct....

Yes, that's it. Memory gives me that area of Thorney Island as the dry winching area. Ten Mike link came up yesterday in conversation with two others from Thorney when your name was mentioned. My tiny Married Quarter is there, a semi which was once a farm cottage.
OH.

Hello everyone...
It has been a while I did not come and I am sorry about that!
Here is a nice photo, quite large...There are three airfields on this photo...My main clue: Battle of Britain...one might be easy the two other ones a bit less...

I got lucky by assuming the image is north up. asw22's clue led me to the Pas de Calais and the railway curve and the forest outline narrowed down the location.
I think two of the airfields would be Caffiers and Fiennes. Not sure about the third.
OH if correct.

I knew it would be fast...
India 42 and Nvubu have it spot on (however the locations which seem to come from LdZ compilations are rather wrong)! Caffiers and Guines are well visible; Fiennes airfield is on the side of the forest NE of Fiennes village on a rather narrow ridge overhead Fiennes (this is coherent witha Bf109 photo I have seen wehre the A/C was parked on the edge of the ridge).
OH to one of you!
