I am delighted to discover this forum. "The Flying Bedstead" seemed to become part of my childhood. My first name was chosen because of one of the test pilots. I am not clear what my father's exact role was but he worked for Rolls Royce and I believe he was in charge of Hucknall when The Flying Bedstead was being developed. Would love to know more about those times. My father passed away in February 1984.
