No. 2 [Upper Gallery] Deck, location 2Q4. Looking inboard and to starboard along the line of frame 137. To the left is a heavy stanchion with eyelets bolted to it and on the immediate right a winch. In the background is the mesh grill for down take 7QZ0 and a doorway leading into the adjacent compartment.

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.
