Sounds very interesting in the UK lots of the Bunkers have been
opened up, sold off etc. And you can even do a tour in one, IMO this
is very shortsighted given the threat of global terrorism.

Bunkers designed to provide a command centre in case
of nuclear war are unlikely to be much use in dealing
with terrorist threats


I don't
think we have the underground bunkers for our Aircraft either.


The Iraqi's had lots of them, didnt help a lot did it ?

No, but they're safe _from_ them. Before 2001 the plan was
that one major Swedish command and control centre would move
to an ordinary office building, with a safer backup place
somewhere.

And there are still secure MOD facilities, the bunkers opened to
the public were mostly local government command centres and
observer corps facilities built for nuclear war.

Last time I checked the MOD still had its bunker at Northwood.
and another in London
