The Italian Chapel at Scapa Flow. Been there in 2017 on the 100th anniversary of my great uncle’s death on HMS Vanguard although unfortunately not for the official commemoration as I was ill.

Italian Chapel. I guess you were doing a bit of aquaculture training work. Nice place.
Very good and all correct.

And Sea Change also guessed correctly that I’m up here doing a bit of work with the aquaculture businesses. Post 2344 was a bit of a giveaway about that.
 
We'll, yes, but I feel you're rather missing the point. It was a very impressive achievement by a group of POWs.
I am not belittling the effort, ingenuity and craftmanship that went into the building of the Italian Chapel

The first time I seen it it was very impressive and that was 50 odd years ago, I was a teenager back then and since then I have taken many friends and family to see it.
What the Italian POWs did with chicken wire concrete, bully beef tins and some paint is very impressive. The 3 dimensional painting of the walls really tricks the eye, it was a Wow! moment when I first seen it.

I have also seen it from above flying a Cessna 152 from Kirkwall back to Wick, stood the aircraft on it's port wing and did a 360 degree turn overhead, it is even impressive from that angle
