I'd like to point I'm not taking it to seriously, I'm not going to start making just the one type of content like other channels seem to do. I may not even make a single blog/review. After spending to long watching silly clips of trains/offroading/geocaching and many more variety's of content oh and rollercoasters "whats that about even, surely there designed to actually ride", I thought that maybe some of the clips I've recorded and still yet to record, may be of some interest to you youtubers out there. 99.9% positive that I'm not the only one that sets out to just quickly find a clip of something for it to lead into 20mins, hour, a whole evening wasted because you surfed threw a ton of vids, not complaining just feel id like to add to other peoples viewing and hopefully not to boring
I'm aware that some vids are not going to appeal 99.9% of people. But it must of appealed to me and that's what counted and hopefully not alone on that
These sirens make the most people scared or disturbed but I somehow actually really like the sound of these sirens. I dont know why but it just gives me chilles even though it shouldnt.
@@perwollf I think Becuase we grew up watching dad’s army, hearing it in a comical setting changes the meaning. But I’d assume if we lived in a country at war that would change. Or even at a time when we was at war.
@@mintysgt I think he went by boat, I can't remember. He was a "stringer" for the BBC so I assume it would have been the cheapest transport! I believe it was Prince Phillip that he filmed there. I remember my parents watching it with me on TV!
I’m sure certain places around the world it’s a very powerful sound, an here in the uk, there’s the older generation still with us that know the sound for real life changing events moments later. How ever I do think people of my age and younger, we only hear mainly in films an don’t really grasp how fearful it really is. I like to think of them as life saving sounds.
@@mintysgt you have your video set to creative commons which allows reuse of the video. I hope that was your intention. I want to use it in a video of mine about air raids etc. in my town. Cheers
@@Wickedacorn I was not aware of that. But yes please do use. Link original video. An if you can spare a brew any given time that would be amazing. An perhaps the 1st one to date lol
@@mintysgt is it safe fishing at night ? Last time I went there the tide was too too low you can barely cast ! Also is the rock side good for bass with lure there
@@irfanahmmednayan you must always fish with in your limits. ive been a wally for years an perhaps take risks compared to someone else. this where we must only go with in our own limits. bass i got to be honest ive onlyheard of bass this year to the west. bexhill/langley area so far. Not that im the all seeing eye
I was a Trinity House Lightvessel crewman on the Royal Sovereign Lightvessel up until the time of the Lighthouse completion & recall oibserving the ground being prepared for the installation of the tower. Whilst on leave, I would visit the construction site at Newhaven by the Buckle Pub. I live in Eastbourne, so on the reliefs, we were occasionally taken ashore to the end of Eastbourne pier, I was fortunate enough to be a local, so didn't have far to travel before enjoying my two weeks leave . Lighthouse keepers were not mariners per se, they were not required to have any previous experience at sea, of which two years was the minimum for lightvessel crews. Incidentally, the Sovereign Tower is not the first of it's kind for the U.K, earlier, in 1963-5, a Lighthouse of not too dissimilar construction, was erected off of Dublin, Ireland, on the Kish Bank. They encountered problems of stability on the Bank, the tower ended up with a tilt & had to be lifted until the ground was properly made suitable due to the sand of the Kish Bank. The Sovereign Tower had 4 higjh speed diesl generators, along with two generators with compressors to supply the air to the fog signal, In 1969 we had 200 hours of fog in the Channel, except for a 30 minute break when visibility lifted a little be closing in again. I was previously on the OWERS Lightvessel off Selsey, in 1968 we had a storm force 10, which made us drag anchor for over a mile, we then reported our changed position before being taken 'off station' through a Notice to Mariners, until the TH Tender moved us back into position. The lightvessels have a bluff bow, so that in any weather, the stresses on the cable through wave force on the bow, would increase the chances of becomng adrift from the station as per navigation charts. I was a deep sea trawlerman fishing Iceland - Norway before joining Trinity House, we had a full blown hurricane off the north coast of Norway in 1966 or 7, with recorded wave height, peak-trough of 94 feet, so a force 10 in the channel was something that I personally had much experience of at sea.
They can be heard upto 2 miles with great ease and effect, thou many was used across towns and cities, due buildings and landscapes. How ever, under the right conditions, you can hear a single siren across a vast span of space, 10-15 miles. But of course has little effect, no ones really noticing it, almost got to be pointed out. Like an airplane passing by etc.
Will be honest, we knew at the time where it was. Just the door had been broken into slightly. An there was a few bits of the roc post bits been placed in there. So we felt was best to make out as you couldn’t see it easily, that perhaps it’s been knocked down. Sadly a few months later, most the bits inside it had been taken away. An we suspected not by anyone with half a brain cell. As the remaining bits had been partailly destroyed
Nice - but not WW2! This is a post-war Carter's Cold War siren. Initially, Gents of Leicester solely won the WW2 Home Office contract, although later in the war, Secomak also produced and sold sirens.
If you get some coments saying "ceara eas alarm" its because some guy used this sound and said this ceara eas alarm (ceara is a state of brazil) + i live in there and i never heard it
@@hughn I guess that may come down to losing the views on the original or even worried the algorithm would be adjusted. You have to remember a lot of the smaller channels even deleting small rubbish vids can have a dramatic effect on the channel itself.
You think back to how strong the british people were-now the brits need an "R-word" siren. Some aggrieved minority is calling someone racist let's all duck and take cover...
My favorite part about the Carter Gents is they're bare bones-just the chopper for the dual tone sound output and that's it. If anyone wonders how a siren works, this is the make and model to look at just to see it in action.
AWW. did she ever have a foghorn i wonder...shes a beut tho. puts a smile on my face..Thank you..😀 just read your Bexhill post, bout trinity house pulling her down. 😢... you got the tower tho, niceone...😉
It’s a very iconic lighthouse, our horizon will never be the same. As for the foghorn, yes it did have one. A very loud one at that an all. You could hear it on land. Thou sadly I don’t remember it my self. I do recall dungeoness new dog horn thou. I’m not sure if it was when it was automated, that the foghorn changed sound emitters. That I’m told could barely be heard next to it.
I always wanted to be a Lighthouse keeper when I left the services, Sad they are all automatic now. I like being alone so it would have suited me! Farewell proud Lady of the seas!😢😢😢
There’s something very oddball about it, was a once very proud institution, that the very few was apart off, I’d like to think the job would of suited me. Everything about it is so appealing. Yet I’m not so sure I’d of served all the tower rocks. But yes farewell, for our horizon will never be the same again.
There is hope the tower itself will saved by a band of unlikely brothers from Bexhill on sea. All I can say at this point is watch this space. I hope to cover more of the story as my involvement increases in the coming weeks, months an years
@@bjorreb7487 @peter hahil, his got footage of when it was active. I think photos of the cabin will come about in time. How ever any further footage will be inside the tower
@@mintysgt The tower itself has been saved. It was donated to Bexhill to go on display at a new charity park that is being built, so the actual lighthouse itself is still here. The concrete building that the tower sat on was removed from its pillar, placed on a barge, and then taken to Shoreham where it was broken up.
HELLO TUBERS!! Nicely put together last look at the lighthouse Minty 👍 shame how what was once a proud and vital structure becomes an obsolete and decaying dinosaur in these days of technology. Good to see you posting again
HELLO MY FAITHFUL TUBER, sat here currently with Captain Blanco, have edited a few old recordings. Not sure if they make the grade. But in a quieter spell of life again now, an making plans for some future videos. Perhaps more with this tower as my involvement grows. Keep tuned an thanks for the kind comments on this video
Sounds very intriguing about the tower, fingers crossed! Ah yes remember the days of £5 challenge and the ROC Posts, be good to see if you’ve been in anymore of them? Do love an explore of sites like that, came across a couple of pill boxes while out walking the other day, brilliant find. Keep em coming my friend 👍
@@The_Last_Post Not quite my place to shout about tower, I believe in the coming weeks there be more announcements. I was apart of the group in the early days, an took a step back until a role in which I’m more suited arrives, which just maybe that time is coming 😉 Since then early days my love for an explore is still there, just home life was at point I was needed around more, so fishing an rc cars, a good nosey stroll an climb down a shaft just had to take a back burner. How ever volunteer for 2 Cold War bunkers, one houses my collection of sirens. Which I think people have had enough of looking at by now, hence a lighthouse video an few fishing vids now planned. Fruit machines was just a silly quick video, having now got 4 machines. I think I come to terms with I don’t want to encourage people to waste money. Absolute fools game, nothing more then luck you hit it when it’s ready. But I’m sure there be more ww2 related videos to come.
@@mintysgt family/home stuff should indeed always take priority. Can never have enough ww2 sirens lol, never ceases to send a shiver down your spine hearing one spin up. So lucky you’ve got your hands on a couple and I know you’ll treasure them, great job on volunteering at the bunkers. Ah yes the fishing, I hope young Mr Williams is keeping well. Of course the fruity’s was just for fun and limiting yourself to £5 was a good idea I thought, even better to have your own! I wanted the Italian Job one, saw it at Weymouth for years then it just went..
@@The_Last_Post 7 sirens an counting. Keep saying I’m going to sell one lol. Funny enough young Mr Williams oh currently enjoying a day of roller coasters. Remember we use to film these things aswell.
My 10yo son is interested in sirens, he told me about one in Thurrock that gets tested still, id love to take him. We are in Essex and found our first real life siren this week on Canvey Island which was for flood warnings. Id love to know where this is, to see if i can take him over the summer. Thanks for sharing 👍
It’s not a well kept secret etc etc. how ever I can’t recall when it’s tested and what day I may of mentioned them facts in the video. How ever I’m not entirely sure if this is still there. This is the Thurrock siren which you mention
I, for one, am fascinated by sirens, how they work, and the different types and sounds they make. To the point where most siren sounds aren't scary to me. but this is one of the few that gives me chills. It almost makes me feel like a bad person for being fascinated by it, knowing there are people who have heard it, knowing it's NOT a test, and they may very well be dead before it's over. I just have to tell myself that the siren itself isn't the bad guy, but the things they warn of.
Nail on the head. When talking to people, they all ways say how scary they are. No it’s not the siren. It’s what comes next is the scary part. This is to warn you an save your life
During my entire 48 1/2 years of life this was the scariest sound that I heard from a siren. It was heard during a fire when I was on vacations at my parents hometown, here in Portugal. I heard a lot of different ones from other towns firedepartments, but this one was the chillest of them all... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uxfJgzQjjqY.htmlsi=Y9vOhw1ZCNAZvbjh
