Netherthorpe Airfield (ICAO: EGNF) is located 2 NM (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) west by north of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England. The airfield is in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham. It was opened as a civil aerodrome in 1935.
Netherthorpe is owned and operated by Sheffield Aero Club. The 18/36 runway at 382 × 18 m (1,253 × 59 ft) is the shortest licensed runway in the UK, and probably in Europe, and is barely longer than some helicopter landing pads (such as Penzance Heliport which is 375 × 45 m (1,230 × 148 ft)).
Flying training is provided by Sheffield Aero Club and by the Phoenix Flying School. Aircraft maintenance is available from Dukeries Aviation.
Netherthorpe Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P601) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Sheffield Aero Club Limited). The aerodrome is not licensed for night use and there are currently no airfield lights.[2]
