Hand Crank.......Any one????
Strange as it may seem.....I am looking for a wartime type hand cranked air raid siren.
Original or reproduction will do as long as it has the correct sound
Please peer into the dark and dusty places where these things are often left and forgotten.
Needed for a charity event so cheap / free is the watch word
(Mods if unacceptable to beg here please delete with my apologies)
Thank you

I've heard tell of a Waddington based AEO who used to take one to every home game at Sincil Bank; for use when the Imps got a corner, didn't get worn out I expect.

There was an electric one on a warehouse that went up in London of late, the neighbours would probably let you have it for free, as the fire set it off and it went on for most of the night 
Probably what you want is this
replica WWII Japanese Hand Crank siren | eBay
Which I think you will find is this one
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
One was for sale here
wwii air raid siren for sale • FighterControl • Military Aviation Forum
You need to search for Carter sirens
Alternate with films showing their operation are these from the states
Search results for: 'Siren' - Keepshooting®
Can you not borrow one, must be some reenactors your way with one.

Secomack one went for nearly £200 on flee bay the other week, missing the rubber handle keeper. They DO crop up from time to time, strangely with the rubber but usually missing the wooden packing crate.
