No. 1 [Flight] Deck. Close view of the walkway running along the starboard edge of the flight deck. This picture was taken from inboard and just aft of the boat and aircraft handling crane. The picture affords a good view of the surrounding dockyard area. Three Whitby class frigates are visible in the adjacent basin, two of them being HMS Torquay F43 (1955) and HMS Tenby F65 (1954).

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.
