Looking at the other slides I would date these earlier now - possibly around 1965 as that was when the design of the Lunar Module was finalised but the Saturn V rocket was still being "adjusted". Incidentally, if you want to see how the Lunar Module WAS designed, try episode 3 of...

    Has anyone ever seen one of these before?

    Found in the middle of 2 boxes of slides I am scanning for a relative:- I am guessing this dates from the late 1960s and was Sugar Puffs equivalent of a sweet cigarette card? Great so long as you owned a slide projector (go straight to Dixons and buy one if you did not......)
