No 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck, location 3U2: View aft from the aftermost portside sponson at about frame 170. The boat in the middle under a tarpaulin and the one partially in view to the left are both sailing dinghies.

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.
