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.

Taken from HAB
Equestrian facility near airstrip, perhaps dressage ring,
suspect microlight or models?
Models........no
SEP, SSEA and SLMG....yes (according to the balloon pilot)
Horses unlikely to appreciate the burn
Harvesting underway in one field?
Edit;
It's a fairly new strip built to service the equestrian facility. It's probably not a good challenge as it's not shown on any charts. However there is a single runway grass airfield only a few hundred yards away (shown on aviation charts). The name of that one will do. I think that anyone who gets this will know the area. If it hasn't gone by bedtime I'll reveal the location and declare open house.
Edit 2;
The equestrian facility is brand new (not shown on GE). No shortage of cash here as the runways look like bowling greens.

Not a fair challenge as you would have to know the area to get it.
It's at Harpsden, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. It's about half a mile to the SW of the other grass strip at Harpsden which is shown on the aviation charts (from where Virgin launch their balloons). I don't think that this airfield has a name yet (unless anyone knows different).

Proper Planes?
That really gets me going......
Aeroplane [so called 'proper'] and Aeroplane [Microlight] should be viewed in a more
intelligent light IMHO. Some designs are in both 'Proper' and Microlight categories.
Granted the winged motorcycle weight shift types are also Microlights but they all require skill to fly and should all be flown and enjoyed and there are plenty of 3 axis Microlights that outperform and cost less than 'proper' spam cans.
as for the Aerodrome at first glance I thought Plaistow's but it couldn't be less like it on second glance.

Going back to Harpsden again! It's on google maps complete with equestrian facility but less a couple of runways.
In fact, looking at Bing Maps they have a more up to date image with all the runways.

Re; Harpsden.
Info came from balloon pilot (we departed from the other Harpsden airfield just to the north). I can't remember seeing it when I used to fly my little Jodel D9 around there, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't there.
I believe that TheChitterneFlyer has control.
