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.

Butiaba on Lake Albert, Uganda
More than just an airstrip, as it was also an Imperial Airways emergency landing stage - 3a: Butiaba « Beyond the Blue Horizon
For the railways, produce came into the port from the Congo and Southern Sudan, was the transported overland via Masindi to Masindi Port, put on a paddle steamer to Namasagali, when it eventually got onto a train - originally to Jinja, back on a boat to Kisumu, Kenya the terminus of the Uganda railway (it was originally part of Uganda). Once in Kisumu the produce went back on a train to Mombasa where it was exported.
The town died a death when the British built the rail line to Pakwach in 1964 so negating the need for the complicated link to Namasagli, which shut down in the same year. Bing Maps shows the railway line still going to Namasagali, and continuing on from Pakwach to Arua (a section which was never built)
Butiaba is currently one of the centres of Uganda oil exploration and there is talk of rebuilding the port and building another airstrip.
Bit more on the aircraft wreckage mentioned before - my clue for this was "Papa crashed here" relating to Hemmingway's 2nd aircraft crash in two days - Palin's Travels: Butiaba, Uganda, Hemingway Adventure

If it helps you Mr Cows, according to the weather forecast, over the next seven days the temp is like to reach a max of -22 deg C, with wind chill -44 deg. No precipitation is anticipated.
Edit, yes it is Haines Junction, Yukon. Over to you EvansB.

Hello oldpax,
One cannot directly attach pictures to the thread. Instead they must be uploaded to a hosting site and then linked to in the post. Full instructions are in the "Image posting on pprune some tips" thread within the Aviation History and Nostalgia forum. It's somewhere near the top so easy to find!

Thanks descol. I can't access my files at the moment so I will have to throw it open for someone else to have a go.
I know I have a good one to post but as I can't remember where it is myself it will have to wait until my memory returns!
