Last night was spent with a very cheeky little bottle of red and the film 'Battle of Britain'...and amongst the many questions that sprung to mind...like why do the HE111's always catch fire on the left engine in the film was this one that I dont know the answer to.... You probably all know off by heart, the sound the British air raid siren makes ?....during the film when the two naughty guys what dropped bombs on London (without the big boss's authority) where being driven around Berlin and there is an air raid....guess what ?....same siren sound...up and down it goes and in the same pitch !. Was this a universal warning used in all countries during the conflict or is this a case of make do for the film's sake ?. Over to you
No idea, Gary but, as an old truck nut as well, I did notice some of the invasion barges being towed by late 1950s vintage Mack B-models! Just one of these things we "anoraks" have to live with!
I assume it was a similar rise and fall as many air raids were the old wind up by hand things. As to if they were the same I cant really think. Nothign new there then
Visit the following site for various sounds from WW2. BBC Audio Clips Library And yes theres one for the siren. For some reason my Windows Media will not play them :hurt:
ram files tend to be realplayer compatible. Worth getting realplayer anyway as playback quality is better the Windows media
