[2] The hospital was situated in the grounds of Nocton Hall which was used to provide accommodation for female officers.

[1] The hospital was used by forces personnel, their families and local civilians until it closed as an RAF facility on 31 March 1983.

[3] 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.

The USAF handed back RAF Nocton Hall to the UK Government on 30 September 1995.
