    I heard that too, I was doing the ironing (I'm a well trained husband!) and managed to get it finished before the four minutes were up!

    No idea where it came from but on the Facebook Dover History Forum, it might have been someone who is restoring one and they live in Dover.

    I know it was terrifying for those who heard it for real, but it would be good to hear again and be a "living history". I'm not WW2 vintage but I remember being woken up in Herne Bay by my parents and the 4 minute warning siren had gone off in the 70s. I was only about 8ish and found it exciting and very noisy, but my parents were slightly more concerned! I turned out to be a false alarm!
