As somebody who grew up during the Cold War, seeing those red lights flash still sends shivers down my spine. I lived yards away from UKWMO / ROC Group Control No.1.
🇬🇧, 😬 - how realistic that small/miniature replica 3D printed “British” air-raid/civil-defence siren sounded to its full-sized vintage/war-relic equivalent, the uniqueness of the siren being the duel-tone pneumatic/air-chopping type? I like to think that, like the French ~ if the UK had kept its siren network after the Cold War, it would be more effective “alarm” system than the government emergency message now mass-sent to our smartphones - with those you can choose to “ignore” them, but with a siren sounding the “alert” outside, you are certainly not going to ignore it 😨 and unlock phone, turn on the telly/radio to hear the warning and take the appropriate action

This is brilliant! Absolutely love old equipment like this!
Great to see the complete setup from Comms to activation of the siren. The detail is next level. 😊
Fantastic! What a great video and a superb setup.
