No. 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck. The fore end of the Upper Hangar, looking towards the starboard corner. To the left is the shaft for the forward aircraft lift, and to the right the doorway leading to the access lobby. Above this is the mechanism for pening and closing the aircraft lift doors.

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.
