No. 2 [Upper Gallery] Deck, location 2RA3. Interior of a rope store, looking to starboard. Above stowed coils of rope are instructional boards for making a modified Liverpool salvage splice and an Admiralty service splice.

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.
