The security of the bunker is illusory anyway. The upgrading of the bunkers done during the 80s was designed to make them survivable against improving Soviet Warhead CEP; by the time it was finished the CEP was such none of the bunkers were survivable against a warhead anyway. Modern conventional "buster bunkers" designed for far more protected bunkers would also make short work of them.

Mobility and dispersal is now far more survivable, and the entire computer power of the original UKADGE with links into the distributed radar and comms system is possible on an tablet PC. I would have thought the larger problem was classrooms and domestic accom and logistic support - and after successive rounds of closures it must be increasingly hard to squeeze any more units into anywhere.
