@@123bruv9 correct, our HANDEL system, and it's approx 7000 sirens was dismantled in 1992. Some remain in position and are just disconnected, some were repurposed such as Southampton's nuclear warning siren at the docks and the various flood alarms like the one in this video, a very ominous one can be heard near Shrivenham occasionally and is believed to be linked to the MoD base there. Others were scrapped. Some lucky ones ended up in the hands of enthusiasts.
I’m absolutely amazed that those sirens, which for the older generations I’m sure have PTSD when they hear them, are still in use today in parts of the UK for things like floods & civil defense uses! I don’t think we have those kind of sirens here in America, but if we did, that would absolutely terrify me hearing

@@L3XIE I'm honestly not sure... I guess it's a passion for something that's a bit more... unusual, I personally get an adrenaline rush but not in a "getting off to it" kinda way lol more like if you were the no.1 fan of a football/soccer team and they won the world cup or something, it's that kind of gratification I, and I think every other siren enthusiast feels and that's the best way I can describe it... Hope that's helped answer your question lol 🔊
I cant imagine how scary it would be, You wake up from your sleep in august 1940, pitch black. You hear the sirens turn on slowly, town by town as the sound of bombs and anti-aircraft fire pierce the streets. I once read a diary from somewhere down south and it was a really impactful quote. "On the first night (of the blitz) people throughout our town were wondering why the sun was setting in the east, aswell as the west."
Thing is unless you live on the coast or by a nuclear plant hardly anyone in the UK knows what the hell the sirens for.. you don't get told anything while growing up or by the government, everyone's just like "oh cool a siren... maybe it's a war reenactment" and they'll just happily carry on with their day
@@joshuabailey3556 You get into basements and bunkers in a flood? Shouldn't you be going higher rather than lower, or are you expecting an invasion? lol
They have that as well for the area, however sirens are still a very effective way of notifying the wider population of an area because not everyone is using technology e.g elderly people.
I remember these sirens just before the hun bombed the hell out of us during the war. We would shiver like hell in our anderson shelters wondering if we would get out alive.
If all warning sirens in those flood areas here in Germany last year would have been in function, I'm sure that many lifes could have been saved. Until the begin of the 90ies Germany had more than 70.000 warning sirens all over the country. All remained from the could war time. Because there was no more danger of war, most of them have been removed or have been still in use in some cities for fire alert and weren't any more able for civil warning. Today we can see how close the danger of war could be and how strong natural desasters could be. And suddenly here in Germany they understood the necessarity to install new sirens. Mostly those kinds of electronic types which are often defect. Those old fashioned motorsirens like the E57 were the best.
@@8ZakattacK9 not necessarily they are different in design but spund and look like carters. Carter is a company and Secomak and Klaxons are company's do there aren't known as Carter but don't worry I see what you mean 😊
vestelle 1 its a warning to get out however the rain calmed down and luckily no had to evacuate. In the past there have been 3 major floods here where houses and businesses ended up under water. It was a close call call this time..
@@thelatenightgamer2624 a few that dont work. Three ex-Civil Defence left in place from their former duties, and one or two more repositioned from other locations.
William Brian Birdsall if they open the gates it will flood the other side of the canal level too fast. They keep it closed so the water flows slowly but luckily the rain eventually stopped and water levels dropped down again. It was a close shave!
Nope, we’re not, the Calder valley floods badly all the time so it’s a good advance warning. The US has thousands of ‘air raid sirens’ of their own design left in place for tornado or storm warning, and many European countries also have national siren systems.
I didn't realize they still use the old air raid sirens today. How interesting!
Alan F, yeah! After World War II and the Cold War, most of the sirens were decommissioned in 1992, but they still kept a few for flood warnings.
These are secomak sirens and they were cold war sirens but for floods
I didn’t even know we HAD sirens

Whenever I hear those sirens I always think of the escapee sirens from Broadmoor Maximum Security Hospital in Crowthorne, Berkshire, England.
The Broadmoor sirens are KLAXON CS8. And they are starting to get replaced by electronic KLAXON ES Superior sirens.

That must be the siren on the drill tower at the fire station or at the high school or near morrisons
I live in Minnesota, United States, and that sounds like our tornado warning sirens
Erin Powers oh really wow! Thats cool
@@josh786manchester I know, right? At first, I was like, WHY do I recognize that sound?
That's because both our flood sirens and your tornado sirens have common ancestry in ww2 air raid sirens (and later cold War civil defence sirens)
Yeah. It does.
Those Klaxon GP8 sirens are sounding awesome! I filmed one like this but up in person it's a Carter siren at Scotlands Secret Bunker
I still remember the night Coventry burned when I hear the wail of the siren
I hid in my air raid shelter when I heard the siren 🚨 I was so scared
😱

im in the UK I've Heard theese Sirens
@@jean-marcdulac4297 wow!
I’ve never heard them well in person like irl only in vids
They’re so loud
Wait are they using the same sirens as the ones in ww2 bomb raids they are very similar

Many of these sirens are repurposed civil defence sirens from the end of the Cold War.
Crazy Sprite yes it is they’re called carter sirens.
@@jd18495 Carter was a manufacturer of them. These particular ones are made by Secomak/Klaxon

@@josh786manchester It's the British way though... don't panic have a cuppa. Wait for the whole thing to blow over lol

Bro those uk sirens really sound nice
I got to admit though that the uk needs an emergency alert system for tv, radio, computer and phone.
They do for War's, and when they get attacked.
They have that as well for the area, however sirens are still a very effective way of notifying the wider population of an area because not everyone is using technology e.g elderly people.
were is this place it look very scary
Sounds like world war sirens
Because they’re the same sirens used in WW2 for air raids
@@VitoScaletta1951no they are not WW2 sirens. The sirens are secomak gp8 sirens that where meant to be used as a nuclear warning.
Yes they are kike caeter or gents sirens
