No. 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck, location 3C. Looking aft down the starboard side of the Cable Deck from the vicinity of frame 17. On the deck in the foreground is a multi-point connector for water hoses. The doorway in between the cable reels leads into an airlock.

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.
