HMS Ark Royal (1950)

No. 5 [Lower Hangar] Deck. Interior of the hangar, looking to starboard from the vicinity of frame 123. In view are aircraft electrical servicing sockets, Fire Point no. 7 and a radar cooling point. The nearby ladder appears to lead up to the LOX [liquid oxygen] storage area, but this may have been altered during the refit.

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.
