CM-020 (Apollo 6) enroute to KSC (Science Photo Library website screen grab 02)

A wonderful & enlightening (to me) screen grab from footage I came upon while conducting a recent search. I’ll refrain from citing the source, it’s in the “name” I’ve assigned…it galls me to even tacitly promote “pay-to-play”/extortion sites. I also didn’t make note of/record the URL…it was late & I was in a pathetic groove.

 

I love the corny but clever banner! And, to me, it’s delightfully enlightening, as it reveals that unmanned Apollo Command Modules (at least one)…maybe even boilerplates(?)…also received attention & personalization from their makers. In this case the reference to it being the last “1” of the "Block I" Command Modules. I’ve never seen this ‘tradition’ referenced (pertaining to the above) in any online forum. The following is all I’ve come across, regarding only manned Command Modules:

And I’m digging the "I WORKED ON APOLLO 4" bumper sticker as well. Speaking of which:
