No. 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck. The interior of the hangar space, looking to starboard from the vicinity of frame 174. In the foreground to the right are stocks of workmen's steps and wooden pallets. At deck level by the opposite bulkhead are stowage spaces for servicing cable and ejector seats, along with Fire Point no. 13. At 'tween deck' level is a large storage shelf 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.
