HMS Ark Royal (1950)

No. 5 [Lower Hangar] Deck, location 5E or 5F2. Interior of the Galley and Servery, probably looking forward but the exact orientation is not certain. Two members of the galley staff are engaged in preparing food. The onecloser to the photographer is making pastry, while the one beyond him is filling pie dishes. Two made up pies are on the work surface to the immediate right, ready to go in the oven.

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.
