Woken at 05.45 this morning by a wailing sound that lasted 10 minutes. Just as I ventured outside it stopped. Car alarm, burglar alarm, tsunami warning? It was bloody loud. Any ideas?
The one that sounds like an air raid siren is the one in the docks. Have heard DHB test the alarm in the Eastern Docks at around 11am every so often, probably weekly or monthly.
Here is a photo of Dover's air raid siren "Lizzie" in World War One:
I didn't hear anything, a bit early for an air raid siren test, maybe someone was putting the cat through the mangle Or maybe you had a bad dream Terry
The port of Dover have one and test it often but I think the Duke of Yorks test theirs every week. I used to be worken up all the time by a sound coming from near there.
