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
Is or was this some sort of Military base? the houses to the east look very uniform in style?
And "simplest name" - so it has two or more alternatives??

Not South America. I operated from a spot where the English name which applies here had been changed to reflect the locale. Getting to that spot was 'such a bad experience,' whereas my passing acquaintance with the field shown was a very long way from my insular starting point, and several days from my insular destination.
The original settlement by outsiders here was probably missionary, and a warning from the mission was ignored at a crucial time.

So - you were based on an island and returned there
SO is this a continental land mass?

This is not part of a continental land mass.
I just passed by en-route from one island to another, a journey of 11 days, and mostly completely uneventful. Had a slightly timorous start to the day on which I passed by this spot.

A timorous start ? Where you flying out of Timor?
Ah - it's Wurrumiyanga on Bathhurst Island N of Darwin
Timor? there's a dump - 400 years of Portuguese non-benign neglect followed by 40 years of Indonesia oppression...................
I got there once a about the 3rd time of asking - and regretted it..............
PS I am of course referring to Timor Leste which is actually a very attractive place but not good. I tried to get to Kupang a couple of times in Suharto's time but the flights were always "cancelled", "fully booked" or "very very expensive" - i presume it's an earthly paradise

There had been enough time for an Antipodean answer ce matin, so, yes, that's it. I operated a couple of years later out of Banjul, a former Bathurst; this trip was Isle of Wight to Tahiti. A nephew did his humanitarian bit in Timor, and a military organisation used machines there which formerly I had graced.
Here's another warm spot
I’ll go for the other hemisphere - Yemen or Oman?
Not YLNG Balhaf - but right country.............
Riyan has an airport just to the east of the village/town but it's not there - you are too far north
It's had a number of rulers from all over the shop TBH but these days it is a pretty undeveloped spot.
