Hello. A bit of info regarding the siren located on the map at Cambridge Airport. I lived very close to this location and can confirm the siren is "growl" tested every Tuesday at 9am. Its use is for Aircraft Emergency Landings. I'm unsure weather it sounds in "Attack" or "All clear" tone during a Emergency.

It sounded for real once during an Aircraft Emergency landing in April 2018. Had half the city in panic mode. (Sadly I wasn't there then)

As for the make of the siren it's definitely a Castle Castings or Carter.
The "growl" it made will always hunt me as a kid hearing it being tested every Sunday morning (before it was switched to Tuesday mornings) if the wind was blowing in your direction even the growl was sometimes loud enough to wake you up (tho this was rare) .

Hope you find this info interesting. Having growing up with hearing this siren it had grown on me abit. I had to share my experience and information. Sadly I moved back in 2018 and haven't heard it since. (Although I'm only 7 miles away) Tho I'm told the siren still does its usual growl test on Tuesday Mornings which is good. (:

Feel free to add any of this info to your map. (:

Hello! That someone is me! I've also discovered a Klaxon ES1/3S at Pembrokeshire oil depot and another Klaxon ES1/3S at Puma Energy at the south side of the plant on a tower. I think there might be something above it aswell.
-Seen a Carter 1N WW2 siren, a Whelen WPS-2903, and has heard Modulators and DSA's playing Evening Colours.
-Currently looking for undiscovered sirens in the UK.
-Also making a fantasy siren map for the UK aswell.

I've found what appears to be an ASC iForce siren (or some kind of electronic omni) located at Barrow Onshore Terminals, Barrow-in-Furness, LA13 0QU:

54°05'41.3"N 3°10'46.3"W
https://goo.gl/maps/S8VogrzzvPZS2PHW7
Seen a: KM Europ, small Klaxon siren and a Gents' of Leicester "ahooga" horn.
Also a big fan of both Apollo and Protec fire alarms.

I believe it's an I-Force. The Davidson Army Field in my state of Virginia has an I-Force, and it too has a black dot in the middle. This is possibly an accessory only available to I-Forces(?)

Anyways, add another location to that too!

Also, if this counts toward the Ireland part of the map, there is also an I-Force in Cork, IE:
