No. 5 [Lower Hangar] Deck. The Lower Hangar in the vicinity of frame 130, looking to starboard and slightly aft. Ahead and to the right are large stowage shelves at Lower Gallery deck level. On the longitudinal bulkhead at hangar deck level are stowage points for hydraulic and service hoses. The leftmost doorway adjacent to these leads into the Liquid Oxygen Compressor compartment at 5Q1, while the partially open double doors to the right of it lead into an airlock. Between the two sets of doord is an aircraft fuelling/defuelling point.

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.
