Not listed on UKNIWM (surprising that this major item has not been listed by now)

This is the White Ensign flown by HMS Rodney during the action that resulted in the sinking of the Bismarck.

Location is in Inch Parish Church at OS Map Ref: NX 100 603

Best I can manage is that the organist in Inch church thought that the Captain (or some other officer) was a member of Inch church.
