Visited alone today, not much left from what I could see, looks like a lot has now been bulldozed, there was still a cool radar station at the end of the runway, To be fair found exploring alone a bit of a strange experience after doing most of them with my daughter but she is not always available now ! so anyone looking for a exploring partner then please get in touch, I don't mind driving anywhere !!
A brief history:
RAF Station Rivenhall is a former World War II airfield in Essex, England. The airfield is located approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south-southeast of Braintree; about 40 miles (64 km) northeast of London
Opened in 1942, it was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Force. During the war it was used primarily as a combat airfield with various fighter and bomber units. After the war it was closed in 1946 and kept in reserve until 1956.
Today the remains of the airfield are located on private property with the northern half being turned into a quarry.
