A while ago, I responded to the following: > Hi. I am trying to trace a certain poster that I have hanging on >my wall. It's a night time shot of a Shuttle on the launch pad. I >guess u would call it a frontal shot (as opposed to side shots or >top down views). The only noticeable oddity is the WHITE fuel tank, >the shot is tilted so i can see more of the rightside of the shuttle >(i can read the NASA and USA markings), but the left side is obscured. > Other clues: writing on the poster > Verkerke Poster/6402/Space Shuttle/Photo : Ken Sherman - Bruce >Coleman/Verkerke Copyright & Licensing GMBM 1983/..../Printed in the >Netherlands. > If anyone can tell me what shuttle flight this is, could you please >drop a note to me? I speculated that, without the poster in front of me, it was either the Enterprise or one of the first two flights of Columbia (STS-1 or STS-2). This weekend, I saw a poster that fit the above description, including the printing along the left edge of the poster, namely: > Verkerke Poster/6402/Space Shuttle/Photo : Ken Sherman - Bruce >Coleman/Verkerke Copyright & Licensing GMBM 1983/..../Printed in the >Netherlands. It's not the Enterprise. It's definitely one of the first two flights of Columbia (STS-1 or STS-2).
