Extract from Civil Defence Handbook No. 10 
"Advising the Householder on Protection against Nuclear Attack" 
Published by HMSO 1963

 RED - Siren (rising and falling note) Imminent danger of attack.

 GREY - Siren (interrupted note of steady pitch) or Church bells (or, in Scotland, oral or whistle message) 
              Fall-out expected in an hour.

 BLACK - Maroon, gong or whistle sounding a Morse ‘D’ – dash dot dot. Imminent danger of fall-out

ALL CLEAR – Siren (steady note) No threat of air attack or fall-out.


Okay, maybe my memory has failed me...
