You can walk all over the aerodrome area as the locals walk their dogs there daily. The main barracks which is in use by the army is fenced off and guarded. It is used for motorsport 3 or 4 times a year and the army play some of their field sports on it and use it for small exercises but that is about it.
As Debden is one of the last virtually intact WW2 fields in existance in near original condition including the runways its been the subject of several preservation orders recently which should ensure its long term preservation and remove development pressure, or thats what the locals tell me.
Its a shame but they recently ripped out several of the bomb shelters round the taxiways as their condition was apparently unsafe.
