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
Are we in Europe? I thought it might be Sion in Switzerland but this is all grass and the railway runs on thw opposite side of the field to the main road.
Not Europe, no matter how you define it. 
Well I did suspect that the Swiss flag on the cap was a distraction.
Let us see - v steep river valleys but a lot of development and a railroad - so not S Island New Zealand. Truck (left hand side hallway up) on right hand side of the road. So it's probably the America's. Looks too neat & tidy for C Chile so maybe USA or Canada.
Very steep valleys and big mountains - doesn't look like Appalchia to me - very straight valley - Rocky Mountain eastern side looks possible - but not way out in the sticks - too neat and tidy

Sorry , I meant the Eastern Rockies. It looks a pretty well off area from the picture.
And there's a railroad which should help.

Jamesl, faint Hope of it being a CJ6 - another tandem two-seater.
Asturias, not the Rockies, but west of them. I confess to some legerdemain concerning the flag, to try and put you off the scent!

ea200,
I had to look that up, because I had not heard that name before, but you are correct. I know it just as Hope airfield, home to the Vancouver Soaring Association.
I also discovered something about it that I did not know - 737 grass runway trials!
For Jamesl's benefit, the picture was taken from a Chipmunk back seat and I'm surprised that Asturias didn't pick up on your "Faint Hope" clue.
ea200 has control.

Thanks IF2. After being led astray by your flag ploy, I went for the railway line as being the line through Kamloops. Found it fairly easily after that.
Here's a nice bit of architecture.
Googling ATC towers shows just how architects let their imaginations run riot (have you seen Edmonton??).
Let's guess at N America?

are we in Europe?
has a vaguely E European air to it - all those multi-storey blocks of apartments.

Know what you mean but it's not Europe. Yes, there are plenty of apartment blocks in the new parts of town but also lots of old buildings elsewhere.
Many historical European connections hereabouts.
