No. 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck. The interior of the hangar space, looking upwards and to starboard from the vicinity of frame 174. The aircraft component stowage spars and overhead gantries are clearly visible. Some assembled scaffolding can be seen at the bottom of the picture while to the right of it are the large rolling shutters leading to the aft aircraft lift.

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.
