@TheDutchModulator
Do you know of any other locations?

I don't know if anybody has noticed but because nobody had replied about I couldn't help but mention, the Cyclone and the Allertronic are on the exact same "Vale Europe" nickel factory. Just could not help but point out, so the Cyclone was obviously replaced with the Allertronic as it is not heard in the video. But the town mentioned in the articles is just a short distance away and the picture matches up.

@TOXBOX12
Can you post coordinates to the Allertronic? I can't find it.

@TOXBOX12 Whoops, my bad, I made a grammar issue making it seem that the Vale nickel refinery had the Allertronic. It's a different plant in general. the siren heard in the articles by the Sun are the factory alarms, not the siren. The Cyclone itself is the principal warning siren with a monthly test schedule, which has been distressing some of the older members of Clydach, the town where the refinery is.

Broadmoor is expected to have there sirens decomissoned soon, and that there is a bid for the company to take them down, and most likely replace them with electronics. Klaxon is one of the bidders, and this is expected to happen by 2018. It was announced mid 2016.

@Synther Sorry I do not have the exact coordinates, but if you go to TheDutchModulator's post, exit streetview, the giant facility under "Vale Europe" which the Cyclone is mouned should be the general area. However I was unable to find the Allertronic, I might keep looking.

@TOXBOX12 The Allertronic is not there. It is at a different plant in general. The Cyclone at the Vale Clydach Plant is their only warning siren.
