No 2 [Upper Gallery] Deck, location 2C. Interior of the Junior Ratings' Dining Hall, looking to port from near the centreline at roughly frame 22. The lower part of the catapult trough can be seen on the far bulkhead and an empty food counter is to the left. Three ratings are engaged in cleaning.

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.
