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
Could be Rose Bay , Sydney?
Crawley Bay, Western Australia? That looks remarkably like the University of WA in the background.
Asturias: Yes, a Saro London flying boat K9686, later lost on a mission to Norway in 1940. Not Rose Bay, though.
Well done, Dora-9 - it is indeed RAAF Crawley Bay /Pelican Point, starting point of the 3500nm Double Sunrise flights to Ceylon. As a sad footnote, the 4 Catalinas used were unceremoniously flown out to Rottnest Island and sunk in order to avoid payment to the U.S.A. under the terms of Lend Lease.

My old stomping ground in fact. Nothing to hand, so OH.

A hangar was used in the construction of this building in 1921. A bit more tonight.........

Sorry chaps I didn't mean to confuse you. The film clip of the Saro Londons was an addition to gen on the previous challenge not this new one.
So sadly it is not a 'Chippy' in Poole or Plymouth.

New Zealand?
Use of the term 'ATM' instead of 'Cash Machine' on the chippy and 'enlisted men' rather then 'junior ranks' billeted at the hotel would indicate USA/Canada or possibly Windies.
