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
Please firm up your thoughts.
But I also have seen a photo of the P-2 in Hannover....
Does anybody know the range of this aircraft?
I don't know the range but my guess was that it was not a long range aeroplane!
I see that Bonn/Hangelar has existed since 1909 or thereabouts so if my guess about the area is right I'll go the step further and say that's where it was. I see that LZ 127, "Graf Zeppelin" visited in 1930 so that's a bit more evidence.

Bonn-Hangelar / St. Augustin
Ref #19127...first you have to fly-in the crane....!!
which they did! What they are unloading are parts of an enormous gold dredge so the crane would have been by way of a rehearsal.
They were airlifting heavy machinery when we in Europe still thought we were brave flying London to Paris as passengers.

A bit of useless info re the J52 and PNG...read somewhere a few years ago that one of the years in the early 30's PNG carried more tonnage of airfreight than the rest of the world combined.

sand in the foreground of the picture says desert to me.
brick lay tower means probably build before war, this rules out 90% of the pacific/Asia airports
But underground stable enough to cycle says probably not North Africa
For the moment I think small USA airbase?
edit: by the angle of the sun light these must be shadows of quite large trees. So not so desert-ish as I thought.

This airfield hasn't been built in a Desert, but the country it is in does have a desert.
This wasn't build before the war.
Correct, not North Africa.
It looks to be quite large, and had a mixture of bombers, fighters and reconnaissance squadrons/groups

not Bathurst..
ETA: It looks quite large, but is not longer an airfield - and hasn't been since the 1940s, although the runways were removed sometime after 1980.
