Royal Air Force Debden or more simply RAF Debden is a former Royal Air Force station located 3 miles southeast of Saffron Walden and approximately 1 mile north of the village of Debden in North Essex, England
The airfield was opened in April 1937 and was first used by the Royal Air Force. One of Debden's early and most bizarre experiences was when the airfield was chosen as a location for the film "It's in the Air" in which George Formby was to pilot a Hawker Fury through Hangar No. 3. The rather sharper angle of the hangars at Debden built around the tarmac apron allowed free access at both ends of the end hangar. The flying for the sequence was actually done by Flying Officer R. H. A. Lee who went missing on 18 August 1940 when he was last seen ten miles north of Foulness Point chasing three German aircraft out to sea.
