In 1970, the Apollo 11 crew members were co-recipients of the coveted Ivan C. Kincheloe award. This was awarded to each crew member by the Society of Experimental Test Pilots for their outstanding professional accomplishment in the conduct of flight testing during their historic mission.

I am searching for the existence of any photos of the astronauts receiving this award at the official awards ceremony. I have contacted the SETP, but this has not yielded any results.

I would be very grateful to anyone who may be able to assist.

Sincere thanks Jurg for assisting me with this quest. I am very grateful to you for taking the time out to help.

Further to this pursuit, if anyone has a copy of the Superior Auction Gallery catalogue for the January 1993 Space Auction, I would be very grateful if they could forward to me a scan of the page featuring Lot #276.

I'll send you a scan/image of both catalog pages pertinent to the award (one the description, the other the image).

As they are opposing pages in the catalog, I may not be able to use a flatbed but we'll see.
