Underground tanks in Hoy

Someone mentioned the underground tanks in the post about the black building. Unfortunately I couldn't get any further as the steel gate is heavily padlocked.

I can't remeber the exact capacity of the underground tanks, but they could hold as much oil as the sixteen tanks that used to be at Lyness.

Thanks Kevin for the photos. I was the one who asked about Wee Fea. My dad used to make it sound so top secret when he told us stories about it. Unfortunately I can't remember all he told us. Now that I see the this photo, I do remember being there. Thanks again.
