No 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck, location 3T2: View aft from one of the port aft sponsons at about frame 146. In the foreground are the chocks for mounting a whaler (left) and a motor boat (right). Beyond these is the base of the 11-ton aircraft crane.

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.
