No 5 [Lower Hangar] Deck, location probably 5-J4: Interior of a Junior Ratings Mess. The exact location is uncertain but this may be on the port side of the ship.

This is part of a series of photographs taken during the final stages of HMS Ark Royal's last major refit which was completed in 1970. The location references are derived from the deck plans in the latest edition of the ship's NBCD book.
