When my dad was in the army, he reported seeing a Thunderbolt at one of the US bases in Japan, but I'm not sure which base offhand. I doubt it exists, but is still a domestic siren in a foreign land no?

Interestingly enough, a handful of Denver Sirens made it to Canada, Chile and Mexico.

Here's one from the depths of the board, the Model 3 in Komotini, Greece: https://www.airraidsirens.net/forums/vi ... l+3+Greece
I recall also seeing a StreetView screenshot of a modulator near a Nuclear Power Plant in Europe, I can't recall the country where it was taken, and I definitely remember it wasn't one of the (infamous) Modulators in the Netherlands. I'll have to dig that one up...
Edit: it was in Cattenom, France, unfortunately that screenshot is long gone, and the place where that mod is has been blurred out from StreetView... So as much as I wish I had photographic evidence to back this up, you'll have to "just trust me bro" on this one, as people say.

I'm surprised that Model 3 wasn't posted yet, seems like most people don't know about it. I remember seeing that modulator posted to this board a few years ago, I tried to find it again a couple years after and found the same thing you did, blurred street view.Darley Champion wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 1:57 amHere's one from the depths of the board, the Model 3 in Komotini, Greece: https://www.airraidsirens.net/forums/vi ... l+3+Greece

I was not able to find it, however it was mounted on a building of Dominion Lighthouse Company.CanadianTbolt1003 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 2:01 pmWOW a Denver siren in Canada in Prescott, ON! though I highly doubt that it's still there after many years...
There IS a preserved Denver Quadruplex siren at the Swift Current Museum in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, which was originally purchased from Silver Siren Company and mounted in the Swift Current fire department hose tower.
I believe Silver Siren Company was a western sales representative for Hendrie and Bolthoff. Below is a photo and a video link. Photo credit:l Flicker user Ooy-ving

Another one to mention is the massive Koeberg Nuclear EPZ system outside of Cape Town, South Africa. The siren coverage is insanely good in the Melkbosstrand and Bloubergstrand areas of Cape Town. Modulator 6024s on almost every block. Theres another foreign nuclear EPZ with American sirens however, that being the Angra Nuclear Power Plant in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They have a system of smaller Whelen WPS-2800 series sirens. I think they're all 2803s but i'm not entirely sure of that.
