What happened to the Holberg, BC Thunderbolt?!
I was looking on the Great Canadian Siren Map and found a removed Thunderbolt 1003 in Holberg, BC on north Vancouver Island. I would love to know what happened to it because it would have been the perfect siren for me to see. Thanks!
I love Thunderbolts! (Hope to capture a bolt soon for my profile pic)

If I had to guess it was most likely scrapped, just like most of Canada's CD sirens.

It was used as an air raid siren at the radar station there. It replaced a Model 2 and was likely installed in 1978 and removed in the 1990s.T-BoltLover55 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 20, 2025 3:20 amI was looking on the Great Canadian Siren Map and found a removed Thunderbolt 1003 in Holberg, BC on north Vancouver Island.
