A set of photographs has been obtained which documents the oil-imaged surface flow patterns of an ogive-cylinder at angles-of-attack between 30 and 85 deg, and Reynolds number of 26,000. Attention is given to the possibility that the bistable nature of the flow within the 50-65 deg angle-of-attack range is linked to the coincident appearance of foci in the surface flow patterns, in view of the suggestion that these foci act as the anchor points allowing the forebody vortical structures to roll up and form the forebody's trailing vortex system.
