During World War I the privately owned Nocton Hall was handed over to the U.S. upon its entry into the war in 1917.
It was turned into a convalescent home for American officers wounded in the War, the last of whom left in 1919.
It then lay vacant until war clouds again began to develop over Europe in the 1930s, when the RAF realised its stations being created across Lincolnshire would exhaust the only RAF hospital in the county at nearby Cranwell.
The Air Ministry acquired the Hall and 200 acres of parkland in 1940 and built the RAF hospital.
the place has been hit heavily by metal thieves, arsonists and general no good bounders...
