No. 1 [Flight] Deck. A close view of the raised forward hydraulic jet blast deflector, seen from port and slightly aft. The fore end of the island is visible on the right of the picture.

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.
