No. 2 [Upper Gallery] Deck, location 2MZ2. Looking inboard and to starboard roughly along the line of frame 107. The doorway to the left with the figure in a suit and tie visible leads towards the adjacent mess spaces. Close by the door is an empty cable reel, and beyond that is the mesh grill covering for gas turbine down take 7MZ0.

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.
