No. 2 [Upper Gallery] Deck, location 2Q4. Looking outboard and to port along the line of frame 137. The opening in the shell and view of Devonport can be seen framed between a winch on the left and an equipment box on the right.

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.
