No 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck, location 3U2: View forward along one of the port quarter sponsons, looking towards the aircraft and boat crane. The chocks for the 45ft motor launch can be seen in the foreground.

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.
