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
Sorry Descol. Not Luton. Again I follow your logic too. I suppose the CL44 might be a bit of a diversion at the moment - perhaps it will become clearer in time ?

Are you absolutely certain that it’s not Lasham? There are pictures of a Redcoat CL-44 elsewhere on the internet that claim to be at Lasham in summer 1980 and visible in the background of your photo are a Dan-Air Ambassador and what looks to be an Avro York, both of which were at Lasham until they moved to Duxford in 1986. The 727 is also in an early 80’s colour scheme.
Doubt it - its now a great big distribution complex - Dates fit Harpswell or Fambridge but neither look right
Just to check - we are in the UK?

Chevvron has it. The airfield is Broom Hall, Pwllheli. Billy Butlin bought the Broom Hall Estate after the war and reopened the airfield in 1947. I would think it was quite seasonal mostly with pleasure flying. Butlin used Fairchild Argus, Austers and Rapides. Early pleasure flying operators were Cambrian Airways and Dragon Airways - the latter became Starways of Liverpool who wrote off their Petrel P6 G-AFIX at Pwllheli without loss of life in 1949. A later pleasure flying operator was Chrisair with their Dragon.

But fer chrissake don't look at the rest of the forum 'cos if you like airfields, it's 'habit forming' and you WILL get hooked on it.
