Plenty on here about this place but just a few recent photos. We took the guided tour, £20 each which goes to the looking after the place. Theres no way in which out damaging the fence, plus the guide lives on site.
The main corridor is 1/4 mile long, worth the trip just for this!
Wikipedia history - Officially designated as No. 1 RAF Hospital Nocton Hall, the facility opened for medical use in June 1947.
The hospital was situated in the grounds of Nocton Hall which was used to provide accommodation for female officers.The hospital was used by forces personnel, their families and local civilians until it closed as an RAF facility on 31 March 1983.
In 1984 it was leased to the United States Air Force (USAF) for use as a wartime contingency hospital. During the Gulf War, over 1,300 US medical staff were sent to the hall and many were billeted at RAF Scampton, although ultimately only 35 casualties had to be treated. In its later days 13 American personnel remained to keep the hospital serviceable. The USAF handed back RAF Nocton Hall to the UK Government on 30 September 1995.
