I think primarily you need to decide 'what is a bunker?'
I note Wiki states that 'Bunkers are mostly underground, compared to blockhouses which are mostly above ground.
AFAIA Uniters are above ground, as were the hardened control centres as seen at Upper Heyford etc.
Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite

It's a good point. Most of the "Bunkers" on airfields were essentially just hardened structures - above ground or at most semi-sunken.
Yes, I'm back(ish).

Sadly most of the urbex community think an ARS is a bunker, let's not fall into that trap on here

Indeed A.N, they can't tell their ARS from their E-Pen.
