Just trying to sort out why Photobucket is making uploading difficult. I of course agree with AA that Hucknall is a very historic aerodrome. It was opened in WW.1 as a defence of Nottingham and training depot station and it was reopened as the Rolls Royce test airfield and also housed 504 Sqn (County of Nottingham). Local Labour Councillors have been trying for years to stop flying at the ‘drome’. It is one of the few green spaces left ( and one of the few places were there are lots of Skylarks) as the conurbation creeps out.

The very long, hard runway had been blocked about 2/3rds of the length for some years with an RR engine test rig. There is of course a large Golf course adjacent to the field and a former colliery site.
