Photos of M-12/D-21 Mated at Groom Lake

I recently purchased a piece of Blackbird memorabilia on ebay, a blank 9th SRW certificate awarded to Blackbird pilots, referred to therein as "Batcavers," in the 1960s. The seller was involved in the Blackbird program, apparently serving at the Ranch in connection with the A-12 and in Turkey at the time of the U-2 Incident. Anyway, he sent me this url, where the middle two photos show the M-12/D-21 combo at the Ranch. I think the first photo is just west of the Red Hat hangars, as it looks like the northern end of the Papoose Range is in the background. The photos are not very sharp, though. Hope these are new to the group. I would think that sharper photos could be obtained through Lockheed.
