Two great space program documentaries are on YouTube - When We Were Apollo and When We Were Shuttle. The Apollo documentary has a LRD post-test photo (near the end at 1:36:43)(Photo Reference: NASA S-66-55607 dated October 2, 1966) of the Apollo Block I Command Module 48-hour postlanding qualification test in the Gulf of Mexico and shows Jim Shannon (LRD test conductor-RIP), Harry Clancy (LRD test subject-RIP), Larry Bell (LRD test conductor-RIP), and C. Mac Jones (LRD vehicle project engineer).
This website is dedicated to all alumni of the Landing and Recovery Division and its supporting organizations for their contributions during the Gemini and Apollo Programs.
If you are an alumni of LRD or a supporting organization and would like to be on distribution, please email your contact info to hopalong12@verizon.net.
Calling all LRD alumni, jot down your war stories and dig out your old photos for addition to the LRD website and mail/email to cmjesq@comcast.net (mailed photos will be returned to you quickly.) Comments on the LRD website are appreciated too.
