After reading the information on this site, finally got to visit RAF Rivenhall last Monday and took some photographs. Why the visit, my uncle flew from the air base during World War Two. There is not much left, but did manage to see the Nissan huts and the massive hanger.
Looking at RAF Rivenhall on Monday 17.6 2013. I had seen the photographs on this site and was in the area so went along arriving at just before 8am in the morning. I was on my motorcycle so sneaked upto the quarry working. The went to the farm and spoke to a very ncie lady who gave me permission to explore the nearby woods for the Nissan huts. I the went through Silver End to try and find the hanger, which I did and saw the farmer who had no objection to me being on site. Not a bad morning.

On reflection, well worth the visit, but best to go when there is less undergrowth as is it taking over in the wooded area and consuming the Nissan Huts and there is only one hanger left. The other one has gone thanks to the quarrying...
