My friend found a possible Klaxon FP6 of some kind in Carlisle here:
54.932673036554654, -2.9635502921285233
I have attached some images of the siren. Bear in mind that I have only had chance to visit this at night so far, so I will take some more photos in the daytime in the near future.
What is strange about this siren is that it appears to have a square object around its motor, which I don't think is normal for Klaxon FP6s. The front of the siren also has been fitted out with a heating implement, as suggested by Klaxon to thaw out the siren for use after cold weather.
The square motor thing still confuses me, so if anyone knows what it is it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

That's gotta be a junction box.

Re: UK Siren Map
I concur, specifically it's for the stator's de-icing heater element, if you look a bit closer you can see a outer ring that connects to the junction box, that's the heater in question.

Purton PSD, Swindon. Whelen WPS2903
(51.5867838, -1.8401265)
Seems like most Exolum/CLH pipeline sites use Whelen equipment. Sandy PSD has its 2903 and there’s a 2909(?) at Aldermaston.

Re: UK Siren Map
I noticed that the Carlisle siren isn’t on the map yet despite there being two updates since I posted about it. Just thought I’d notify someone.

Re: UK Siren Map
Not sure who has access or does updates because the Whelen I contributed has been added. Anyone able to give access?

Re: UK Siren Map
Isn't there a 2001-130 somewhere in the UK?

Re: UK Siren Map
I believe that there are two, both of which are already mapped. I think that they are located in Liverpool and Manchester.

Re: UK Siren Map
According to a couple of people I talked to, there was at some point a Thunderbolt in the UK. Anyone know anything?
