No. 5 [Lower Hangar] Deck. Interior of the hangar, looking to starboard from the vicinity of frame 90. The rolling shutters leading to the forward aircraft are just visible to the left. Miscellaneous aircraft maintenance equipment can be seen stowed on deck, some of them partially obstructing the double doors leading to the Air Lock and Weapon Transfer space. The aircraft spare parts stowage shelf can be seen at Lower Gallery Deck level.

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.
