No. 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck. The interior of the hangar space, looking to port from the vicinity of frame 95. On the longitudinal bulkhead in between piles of miscellaneous equipment are hydraulic hose, radar cooling and aircraft electrical servicing points. To the right is weapons/bomb lift 1/7KZ4 with its hatch open and associated control station nearby. On the deck in the left foreground is a large pile of folding chairs. At 'tween deck' and Upper Gallery Deck levels are large shelves for equipment stowage. The 'tween deck' shelves are almost filled to capacity.

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.
