This makes me wonder whether one has to be a researcher of some repute to get into either Duxford or the Air Historical Branch.

The IWM has a website, so you could contact them and ask about Duxford. I've only ever written to the AHB, so I can't answer your question. I don't quite see why either would be preferable to visiting the Archives at Kew (unless you live near Duxford). Kew has the advantage of being purpose-built for researchers.
