Potential ACA Product found in Australia!

Thu Nov 19, 2020 8:42 am

Today I was working on the Australian siren map, and I randomly found this at a fire station, which resembles an ACA Cyclone or modified Screamer very closely! I thought I would share this with everyone as this is really interesting.

Hey, that's a pretty cool find! If it really is a Cyclone, it could possible be what we were hearing in the Stanvac videos.

I saw you guys talking about that on Discord! It does look like a Cyclone, and the fact that Aussie ordered 30 Cyclones raises the possibility a lot.

I dunno about all you but that thing looks too small to be a Cyclone to me.
I have an unhealthy obsession with mini sirens.

That looks more like a Sterling 2V8 to me.

That looks too tall and slim to be a Cyclone to me, in fact, it looks to have the motor on the bottom. My guess is a Federal 5/7 without the bottom housing.

Alright, I see what you mean. But, if that isn’t a cyclone, we still have 30 to find.
