plans for the inevitable undead uprising
Melodic:
I think it's more feasible than you give credit for. Anyways, the original delivery system is ALWAYS debated. If we look at the Evil Dead series, any recent or present deaths result in zombies, in which case I can't see how ANYONE would survive for any length of time. A lot of people die in a minute. If it's airborne, only certain sectors would be safe and eventually contact strains will get through and kill everyone. If it's contact-only, the potential for global infection is probably significantly reduced, but the idea is that zombies are like time-bombs with multiple fuse lengths: any human being is a potential carrier.

Boro, if the outbreak has a phase where the disease hasn't kicked in, how exactly are you going to be able to scan the airways? We've never seen this disease before - and by the time we've figured out what to look for it will have already spread pretty much all the way around the world.
The isolated places will still receive the disease, just not as quickly. There will be people running from nearby towns to take shelter there when their own town is overrun. What if one of them has the disease in it's undetectable phase? And even if you manage to escape that problem, zombies will eventually converge onto any remaining groups of people - and all it takes is for one of those people to suffer a scratch and then suddenly one night, your own friend tears out your jugular.
The other problem is that people are selfish. They're not going to admit that they've got the virus - they'll deny it to themselves and hide it from everybody else, hoping that they'll survive it. They won't, and they'll have easy access to all the unsuspecting people around them as soon as they go zombie.

The solent forts are already my plan, boy! Also, what the hell kind of cadet corps has SA-80's and L86's? I was under the impression that kind of stuff was kept on proper military bases. If that's the case, then it's possible that getting hold of firepower might not be that hard in the uk, for the savvy.
SA-80 wouldn't be a bad weapon to get you out of a corner either, zombie-wise. As long as you were right handed, of course...
kinglm:
Yeah, from what I gather most cadet corps just get fobbed off with the single action cadet rifles but we managed to get hold of a squad or two's worth of SA-80's and a handful of LSW's which only just made their way back from Iraq after the army realised they didn't have enough and commandeered ours :-P. Also think they have some flares knocking about in there too (of the pistol delivered variety) which might be useful for one thing or another.
