No. 5 [Lower Hangar] Deck. The Lower Hangar in the vicinity of frame 105, looking to starboard. Large stowage platforms can be seen at Lower Gallery and Upper Hangar deck levels. To the right at hangar deck level is a group of four large nitrogen bottles (part of the fire suppression system). Immediately adjacent to them is a NATO air panel and a low pressure air 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.
