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.

On the contrary, I think Harry was saying that the buildings at Blackbushe are at the eastern end, whilst at Newcastle they are to the west. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you're right.

Jensdad is correct - thought he would get it!!!
There's a b***** great hangar with "Newcastle Airport" on it cropped off the left hand side - the road is the main Scotland - Newcastle road - now a dual carriagway
B737 is also correct - I was talking about the 'Bushe - which also has a main road alongside but the facilities are the other way round cp Woolsington................

Nice to see Woolsington Aerodrome getting an outing on these esteemed pages! The old terminal (the building on the right) spent a lot of time as the Newcastle upon Tyne Aero Club and is still standing, as is the hangar next door. Both are now part of the technical area on the south side of the runway, opposite the 'New' - well...1966 - terminal.
I have nothing handy so will have to declare Open Hoose.

Correction: Just noticed, the old terminal / aero club isn't there any more. Very sad, a nice old art deco style building it was 
The old aero club hangar is still there though.

Well since OH has been declared by jensdad, I offer these. Stunning arcitecture + artwork in a small terminal building.
I feel I must offer an initial clue as starter: It's in the USA. The ceiling fans out of shot are all old props. Shouldnt take too long!

Isaid it wouldn't last long!
Quite an interesting history: A public-owned airport but a private individual paid a lot of money for an exquisite building to act as the FBO.
You have control

Sorry about the poor quality of this photo. The road on the left is actually on top of a berm. The location of an E-W runway can be seen, which was removed as it was short and close to the berm, as I found out when I landed there thirty some years ago!

yes - but it might be somewhere like Florida or the Gulf Coast ... probably First World as no-one else has the sort of money to build that sort of sea defences. Also near a large stretch of open water
No reefs visible, no palm trees............... E Europe unlikely to have what looks like a small, neat & tidy GA airfield
no big beach or big coastal development so maybe not the Med............

The fields seem very lush and green as if well watered by the climate whilst the coast road seems very straight as if militarised ... Perhaps up the Baltic coast of Europe someplace1

There was a hurricane her in 1927 that caused a lot of deaths due to flooding, so the berm was constructed in the 30's. That should help locate the field. And no, not WW1

Not a polder yet, but with rising sea levels it may soon be! My home base of North Perry is 8 feet above MSL and my home is 7 feet above MSL Pahokee is higher at 16 feet. But this used to be the Everglades until the Army Core of Engineers drained the swamp!
