This is surely an off shore MB being used for money laundering. I find it difficult to believe you have ever been to Cardiff. That is one of the most iconic pictures you will ever see of this part of the world. It features in many medieval films. You cannot fail to see it every time you go up north. It stands as a sentinel to protect Cardiff from the Valley people. Gabalfa flyover was built to give everyone a view of it's splendour. It's what so many tourists come to see. A gift to the people of Cardiff from the Marquis of Bute.
