What was the purpose of the circular opening in the nose? I have seen a half dozen photos like this, possibly more. I think the history of this version is incomplete. It appears it was used for other missions.

Excellent. Thank you. The S.H.A.E.F. notation is no surprise. This version was indeed secret.

Best,
