Does anyone know of any photos showing an Apollo crew training to erect the lunar flag? I have part of the casing of the Apollo 15 training flagstaff and while I've found photos of the flagstaff kit online I can't find any of the crew assembling it.
I know that a review of the procedure was carried out so that the Apollo 11 crew could include it in their lunar surface rehearsal, and that the rehearsal was attended by at least one NASA photographer; but I haven't seen any images including the flag assembly.

Matt, I have a photo of Shepard and Mitchell erecting a flag during training that I used in "Footprints in the Dust." If you contact me I'll send you a hi-res (B&W) copy,
