It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, been up in self isolation from COVID and came up with a few more locations!

So RAF Barford currently has a ATI HPSS-16, but I have some information about previous installations at the site.

On the 7th March 2007, RAF Barford had the installation of a Whelen WPS-2905 completed. What's interesting about this siren is the fact that it was installed by the German Military, specifically Airmen from the 1st Communications Maintenance Squadron at Kapaun Air Station, Germany. Supposedly, they installed Whelen WPS-2900 systems around 9 military bases throughout the UK, so I suppose they're the reason that so many RAF bases had Whelen Models. They were all donated units after the German Military saw the response to the Londom Bombings and chipped in to provide a warning system to military personnel.

Looking at historical imagery, the 2905 is very clear in the December 2009 snapshot, and prior to the 2905's installation a snapshot from 2004, and two from 2005, show a Federal Signal Modulator (5 or 6 cell?) originally stood in the same position.

A picture of the 2905 installation being completed is attached below

So I’ve just found the first sentry F2’s in the UK I think! I was going to film a siren test at Valero oil terminals in Kingsbury and I found a total of 4 sirens! Two of them are sentry F2s and another 2 are some random grey sirens.

The "unknown" siren at Brenntag Washington UK appears to be a Sirenco 5S I believe. Here's my evidence:

Also theres a Castle Castings in the Lowestoft War Mueseum and a grey Carter 1N at the East Anglia Transport Museum. The Carter will be my icon soon!

I was having a coversation with a friend who lives in Stowmarket in Suffolk, and I wanted to ask about if they heard a siren from the PPG industries plant.
Fortunetly they had, and it was described as sounding like a deep tone siren, which sounded like the WW2 siren at the Redcar Steelworks. Luckily they had a cousin who worked at PPG, who managed to take a photo of not a siren, but a fire alarm XD. However, they did say they purchased Klaxon sirens, so that confirms they have one or two Klaxon GP dual tone sirens. So if you want to mark it on the map, feel free. To prove, I took a screenshot of the convo. The person in question had my permission.
