No 3 [Island] Deck, location 03J. Interior of the compass platform, looking aft from near the pelorus towards the chart table. The radar operator's position can be seen just to the right of the table.

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.
