No. 5 [Lower Hangar] Deck. The Lower Hangar in the vicinity of frame 137, looking aft and to port. The doorway in the corner leads into an airlock, while the grille door to the left leads into the Nylon Pack and Barrier Net stowage compartment. In the foreground are two large tripod axle jacks and a number of oxygen bottles on trolleys.

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.
