There were a couple of RN Lynx helicopters from RNAS 702 tied down on the flight deck and they were being guarded by a marine in combat gear with a gun at the ready, just can't trust these scousers climbing all over the ship.
It would seem that Ark Royal's main task these days is carrying helicopters rather than the Harrier of previous times.
