The "Typhoon" type of siren was tested in the city of Victoria between 11-11.30 a.m. with a view to using it as an air raid alarm.

Wing Commander A. H. S. Steele-Perkins, Air Raid Precautions Officer, and Mr. W. R. Scott, Deputy Com missioner of Police (Acting), witnessed the tests which began in Hollywood Road but will be extended later in order to demonstrate the full capabilities of the instrument:
