No. 2 [Upper Gallery] Deck, location 2MZ2. Looking out towards the opening in the shell. To the immediate right is an empty cable reel, and in the left foreground a mooring bollard with a line secured. A junction box mounted on the bulkhead at frame 110 is visible beyond that.

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.
