Have you seen this
@Speedy ? It might be of some use although, I'd excercise a bit of caution with it. I'd be interested to know what you make of the cluster up mear the Scottish border.

Ta, I'll have a look at that later. It seems to be killing my laptop.
As regards the borders, apart from the radar heads in the NE there wasn't anything static we had up there. The Bloodhound sites stop around the Humber and stretch southwards from there finishing at Bawdsey Manor.
Strangely the Thor missile bases (also on the map) were almost all in the east midlands/Linconshire/Yorkshire area. I wonder if this was for logistic reasons?
I've been adding the RAF UNITER buildings over the past week or so. The RAF had numerous comms systems that were all seperate and (IIRC) Marconi was contacted to unify them which they did with the UNITER project that started in the 70's. These were housed in special buildings, some on airfields and some in random locations. Not helped with identification by there being several building types used. I think there are 43 of them still in use from about 60+ in the early days.
As with a lot of what I'm looking for, the urbex sites have been a great help, but like many on there they don't have a real understanding of the scale of things and they only show one type -
Uniter Building, Fife - Icosis
Whereas with a bit more digging you can find the other types as on this page here -
Waddington - that site has been very useful for helping me find ones on other airfields.
One other thing that struck me when making this map was that a large percentage of bunkers I have found were/are for the civil authorities rather than military with just the RAF and some large HQ's having bunkers.
I'll take a look at that map on my monster PC this afternoon and see if I can see if they have got anything wrong and possibly stuff I may have missed.
