The reason I class this as a “mystery siren” is because it seems to be a hybrid of a Castings and Klaxon/Secomak. The siren looks as if it has a Secomak motor and rotors but has Castle Castings stators and mount. The sound of this siren aswell doesn’t quite match up with a Castle Castings either. Before you say this is a single phase Castings, if you listen to the video that Heritage War Sirens uploaded of his friends single phased Castings, you will hear that the wind up is much slower and the pitch is higher. I don’t know what to call this siren that is seen at this base because no one really knows the name of it, but it seems UK and Ireland have more of these models in places such as Belfast, Newton Aycliffe and Thames use this siren too. It sounds identical to a GP12 but quieter and slightly lower pitched.
@@randomores yeah it seems to have a Secomak motor and what looks like rotors too, but Castings stators and mount. This really is a mystery siren. It’s really similar to the Irish ones
@@hmsirensandfirealarmsthat siren sounds exactly like the sirens at newton aycliffe as the wind down is faster than a Carter castle castings or similar siren with a longer air raid style attack signal. I bet its a custom set up but the newton aycliffe sirens defo sound a hybrid air raid signal like the gents at hampton court. It has a faster attack signal. This siren sounds nice rather than a harsh saw like tone of a carter gents castle castings or a secomak GP/CS8
@@jezcolborne6329 the Gents at the Hampton is also one of these models, no one really knows what model this is for sure but you are absolutely right about Newton Aycliffe aswell! 🔊😁
@@hmsirensandfirealarms so the siren on the hampton court waterworks is a frankenstien siren like this one. I love the way it sounds like a klaxon GP12 as its not harsh and it dousnt sound like a a hand planer like the secomak or a gents ect. Did you know australia has a very odd dual rotor siren that looks like a large gents but the rotors are the ssme size as the motor housing . It has a large motor housing and has a rather haunting sound to it. its on laydley fire station
Great video as always dude! I wonder if this was made by Gryphon as they made some unusual looking sirens I was told, there is someone in the US who owns a Gryphon 2048 and it looks very similar to a vertical mount single tone Carter
@@hmsirensandfirealarms Your welcome. I saw the livestream you did but I didn't watch it unfortunately because I didn't have time, also I have made some videos of some of my fire alarm sounders if you haven't seen them yet.
@@Indiecovers1985 you can only really record it from this angle because there are security that can stop you. It’s hard to explain where this is but it’s behind the road next to the station
@hmsirensandfirealarmsits a nice dounding siren and not raspy like most secomak castle castings or carter. Its more like a KLAXON GP12 although its not. I can hear a little bit of the deep undertone but not as mutch as a SECOMAK GP/CS8 or KLAXON GP/CS8. Its old school but with less of the low buzz undertone unlike other coldwar or newer dual tone sirens. Thats why i love the sound of a KLAXON GP12 as its not as ear numbing and i like these british mistery sirens.

Maybe its some other model Castings made, like a GP12 equivilant?
@@CycloneJoey518 it wasn’t even that loud though
@@hmsirensandfirealarms I'm thinking it could've been a Castings that was rebuilt with spare parts
@@CycloneJoey518 But these are exactly the same as the Irish sirens, so it’s probably a company we don’t know of
@@hmsirensandfirealarms I doubt it personally, I think its more likely to be a model we don't know about from Carter or CC
This is wicked! Definitely sounds like a Castle rather than a GP12 imo. Has that very old school lower pitched undertone to it. Lovely stuff!

Excellent video!!! Well done for putting in the effort to go and see that one.

@@WhelenWPS2803 yeah I wonder what type this is. You could be onto something! 🔊
0:31 Signal: Attack.
Its not the air raid attack. Seems to be a custom attack tone or the siren has stiff bearings witch makes the wind down faster
Brilliant 👏 👏
Very nice siren test, indeed!👍

No Tripod?
No, this was filmed at an M.O.D site and I didn’t want to have a big camera set up aiming at their site lol 🔊
