When did Chain Home get coverage over Scapa?
Looks like Scapa Flow was part of the first Chain Home network, protected from 1939 onward.
Though I am not sure if it even matters, Scapa Flow is very, very far away from any German air base. The Bombers would be very liable to being spotted, and they'd be flying without any fighter cover, obviously.
Best option would be attacking from Norway, but I am not sure the infrastructure is there.
Might have to ask the Norwegians if you can use their country as an airbase first. Something tells me they would object seeing as they've not been invaded yet.
And of course..
Its gotta be mentioned..

But the OP said after the fall of France?
I did try to start a thread with a mass midget sub attack on Scapa but there were no takers. I think it needed the Ovaron touch.
Well, Germany actually did its own PH on Scapa. Only with a submarine.
Yeah, it was on a bit smaller scale... more like the Alexandria one.As far as I know only the HMS Royal Oak was sunk in that attack.
