Re: UK Siren Map

Update on a London siren. The whatever it is on the roof of Vanguard Self Storage is still there as of May 2022. The Hawker Hunter jet fighter that was on the roof was moved inside after being taken down, and I wanted to see if the siren was still up. To my surprise, it is! See the upper right section of this image:

It’s been a while since I’ve been on the board, love what they’ve done here! I have a couple more locations to add,

Klaxon ES
(54.5672418, -0.8983553)
This is the second location of the Skinningrove flood siren system, viewable location: (54.5689903, -0.8978983)

Klaxon ES
(52.4679171, -1.1942894)
I am currently figuring out the test dates for this one, planning on filming it but nobody is giving any answers. Hopefully soon!
Can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CiXn77usAyK ... MyMTA2M2Y=

Also on a side note can someone please take the location of “KlaxonMasterBlaster”
Here: (52.6016148, -1.1644576)
It is just a burglar alarm and don’t know why it is marked down.

Possible location: NuFarm LTD, Wyke, Bradford. Information available here: https://cdn.nufarm.com/wp-content/uploa ... mation.pdf describes a COMAH alarm siren being used and regularly tested on site. A quick scour of street view brings up nothing however, so unsure of model type.

Also, of interest may be this tweet depicting the already documented Kockums Delta located in Droitwich: https://mobile.twitter.com/PotterSpace_ ... 4259537922
This siren was installed alongside the wind sock in 2019, and is a Kockum Sonics Delta 8. Would be interesting to hear this sounding.

The 2 H.P Castle Castings in Peterborough has been suggested to be an early Secomak GP6 siren. This is still unconfirmed, however it is much more plausible due to the square base. I will confirm the model later in the year when I get a closer look.
Owner of the first confirmed M.E.Z. H1/B2 in the UK :D

I believe the unknown klaxon siren on the craven arms museum is a klaxon GM3. A guy who owns one confirmed that to be its name.

I've been wondering what those are for a while now, also cool to hear one running full power in the video in the screenshot above. Here is another video of one, they didn't let this one run up as high.

Also could someone give me permissions too so I can add locations more efficiently?
