No. 4 [Lower Gallery] Deck, location 4G1. The starboard deck space in the vicinity of frame 60, looking forward and to port. In the centre of the picture is the hatchway leading down to the Junior Ratings' Mess at location 5G7. The door just visible to the left leads towards the Sick Bay, while that on the right leads into the forward interior of the ship.

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.
