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.

What? No ICAO code? No history? And no challenge?..It is indeed UHMA Anadyr Russia Siberia Airport. Cows getting bigger is correct. OPEN HOUSE.

UHMA is the ICAO code for the Anadyr aerodrome. A.K.A. Ugolny Airport.
It is a storied locale in Russia's history.
As Cows getting bigger has suggested, it is OPEN HOUSE

"Seems a bit of a daft design with the main apron where it is and only one taxiway from it direct to the runway."
Apparently it was never a fullsclae base - they call it a "bounce" or "staging" airbase - presumably too remote for easy resupply and too close to both the sea and Alaska for a permanent base but usefull for dispersion, refueling and recovery

I detect deciduous trees and a Wellington lurking in the background, so "an airfield somewhere in England"?

Close enough. In fact it is one of 10 jungle forts landing strips built by the Royal Engineers (with help from Australians) in Peninsular Malaysia (then Malaya) in the mid 1950's.
This one named Fort Chabai was, North to South from the border with Thailand, second.
The a/c was an RAF Squadron 267 (lated renumbered as 209) Single Engine Pioneer, which supplied the forts during the "Emergency". The need for forts in Sarawak arose 8 years later in the early 1960's.
The list of forts with landing strips was Kemar, Chabai, Legap, Brooke, Selim, Telanok, Dixon, Shean, Langkap and Iskander.
The "approach" photo was taken by my father in 1955/56 to assist new pilots on the Squadron.
Over to you chimbu warrier.
