No 4 [Lower Gallery] Deck, location E. Interior of the ship's bakery with two bakers seated on upturned bread cooling baskets while preparing topping for a rather elaborate cake (commissioning cake?).

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.
