in Australia was a good example.
Two different
days it was completely clobbered in where you
couldn't see anything on the ground in that imme­
diate area. This point Rhir was clobbered in
one day.
We were going to get an Apollo landmark
on it and it was just back in under the clouds in
fact.
And Kano we were going to get a shot of
the Kano air field , wasn't it?
Conrad
Yes , that was clobbered.
Cooper
Yes, it was clobbered.
We got right up close to
it and there were these low cl ouds hanging in
there just scattered to broken clouds and we
couldn't see.
Conrad
Actually on the D-6 stuff most of the time the
experimenters were up on what was clobbered and
they didn ' t even bother to give it to us , or if
they gave it t o us it became clobbered before we
got there .
They usually were able to tell us that
it was going t o be clobbered and then many times
they gave us that the weat her was pretty good,
but there 's three tenths cloud coverage so you
may or may not. It didn't bother us too much
around the coastal regions .
