A couple of years after the war, the RAF took back the hall and its new
hospital complex (allowing Rauceby to revert back to a lunatic asylum). Realising its
potential, the new RAF(H) Nocton Hall became the RAF’s permanent hospital for
Lincolnshire, serving the airmen of the many airbases scattered around the county. Its
facilities were constantly expanded and improved with a major reconstruction programme in 1955
being followed by several gradual improvements throughout the 1960s. This ensured the hospital
could offer all the routine facilities of a modern general hospital. These facilities were
also available for members of public from the surrounding villages.
