Here's a closer shot taken at around the same time, courtesy of Scott Alexander.

That's got to be before they made the first movie. Looks too new.

GREAT PICS. Rarely do I see something new these days.

Thanks.

March of `69 (post "Apes" 1 but prior to "Apes" 2).

Scott took these himself while on a tour of the backlot.

You need glasses, my friend. It reads:

Still, the photos were taken about a month after the movie premiered in February of that year.

Hey, the late 60's are blurry for a lot of people.



Point is, Scott Alexander's shots were taken after the location shoot for the first film, and they show the ship in the same spot on the backlot as depicted in the McDowell footage.
