Anybody know where I can find a wind up air raid siren?

Would like to have one for work when we get a job come in.

Have seen wind up fire alarm bells on ebay etc, but a siren would be better.

Reminds me of the V8 powered air raid siren that Robbie Coltrane tried out - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JEfYnByuTQ0

would it damage your hearing in a confined space?

im thinking nightclub, just as an erm, random thing for a DJ to let off to suprise a few people . . . . . . . .

Someone at a 4x4 show I was at many moons ago fitted a two tone train horn to a jeep - god that was loud! Everyone jumped round expecting to see a train coming towards them!

I wonder how much trouble you would get in to if you took one of those WW2 style sirens to a very busy city centre and used it...would everyone panic and start running around like eejits?

Why not just one of these air / fog horns from a boating shop? They're so loud that in a confined space, your guaranteed to relieve all symptons of constipation.smile

I'm sure the HSE will love you, and you'll enjoy paying out compensation to those deaf workers who can't ever work again !!!

They're still in use in Germany, on the first Saturday of every month they wail away as a test for the fire brigade, can be pretty spooky if you're not expecting it biggrin
