This is where the first Vertical Take-Off aircraft was tested and carried out the maiden flight. The Flying Bedstead was a nickname given to two different experimental vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, both receiving the nickname because each comprised a skeletal platform raised on four legs that resembled a bed.

Formerly RAF Hucknall, Hucknall Airfield (IATA: N/A, ICAO: EGNA) is located 5 nautical miles (9.3 km) north northwest of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England.

Hucknall Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P507) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Rolls-Royce plc).
