The Man With The Golden Gun | AMC Hornet | American Motors Car dealership | Featured in The Man with the Golden Gun.[6] Bond steals this red 1974 hatchback from an AMC dealership in Bangkok, Thailand. He makes his exit by crashing through the showroom window.[7] unknowing that Sheriff J.W. Pepper was in it looking to test drive it. A Hornet was also used for the famous twisting corkscrew aerial jump that was captured in just one filming sequence.[8][9] A special modified car performed the stunt with a lower stance and larger wheel wells (just as the Astro Spiral Javelin stunt cars that performed that same jump in AMC sponsored thrill shows) compared to the stock Hornet X model in all of its other appearances in the movie. Seven tests were performed in advance before the one jump performed by an uncredited British stuntman "Bumps" Williard for the film with six (or 8, depending on the source) cameras simultaneously rolling.[10] Two frogmen were positioned in the water, as well as an emergency vehicle and a crane were ready, but not needed. An engineer[11] at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (CAL) used computer modeling to calculate the stunt and specified 1,460.06 kilograms (3,219 lb) for the weight of car and driver, the exact angles and the 15.86-metre (52 ft) distance between the ramps, as well as the 64.36-kilometre-per-hour (40 mph) launch speed.[12] This vehicle is on display at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire.[13] The ramps are still in the possession of the Jay Milligan's stunt company, JM Productions in Hamburg, New York. |
AMC Matador coupe | Francisco Scaramanga and Nick Nack | The featured car in The Man with the Golden Gun.[14] "Bond is foiled by perhaps the best trick a getaway car has ever performed; the Matador transforms into a plane."[15] Francisco Scaramanga and Nick Nack use this 1974 car to kidnap Mary Goodnight and make their escape. In the film, the Matador coupe is converted into a 'car plane' to fly from Bangkok to an island in the China Sea. With the flight tail unit, the complete machine was 9.15 metres (30 ft) long, 12.80 metres (42 ft) wide, and 3.08 metres (10 ft) high and the "flying AMC Matador" was exhibited at auto shows; however, it could only make a 500-metre (1,640 ft) flight so for the film's aerial sequences it was replaced by a meter-long (39-inch) remote controlled model.[12] Transformation of the AMC Matador into a light airplane occurred when wings and flight tail unit were attached to the actual car (that served as the fuselage and landing gear) and a stuntman drove the 'car plane' to a runway at which point the scene cut to the radio-controlled scale model built by John Stears.[10] See Aircraft section below. | |
AMC Matador sedan | Bangkok Police | The featured police car in The Man with the Golden Gun.[16] The 1974 Matador used in the chase is a left-hand drive model although Thailand operates with UK style left-hand traffic rules. | |
Moonraker | AMC Concord | Drax Industries | A 1978 D/L station wagon is seen in Moonraker where Bond and Hugo Drax are pigeon hunting.[17] |
Jeep Wagoneer | Bond is seen briefly driving the Jeep through some caves.[18] | ||
A View to a Kill | Jeep Cherokee (XJ) | Stacey Sutton | Featured in A View to a Kill where Stacey is seen driving home.[19] |
Licence to Kill | Jeep CJ-7 | Henchman Perez | A 1976 Renegade-II is seen in Licence to Kill.[20] It is used by Sanchez's henchman Perez, who fires a FIM-92 Stinger missile at a commandeered oil tanker where Bond does a wheelie (in this scene, Bond crushes the Jeep). |
Tomorrow Never Dies | Jeep Cherokee (XJ) | Wai Lin | A 1997 XJ Cherokee right-hand drive export model is seen in front of Wai Lin's hideout.[21] |
Aston Martin
Film | Vehicle | Owner | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Goldfinger | Aston Martin DB5[22] | James Bond | Seen or featured in seven films (Goldfinger, Thunderball, GoldenEye, a small appearance in Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, Skyfall and Spectre). In the novelisation of GoldenEye it is stated that Bond purchased the DB5 as his own personal vehicle, although the 2006 version of Casino Royale, which reboots Bond film continuity, shows Bond winning it in a game of poker in The Bahamas; as such the Casino Royale version of the vehicle is the only one that is not outfitted with special equipment (Brosnan's DB5 is shown to have special features in GoldenEye such as a teleprinter disguised as a CD player, and a champagne cooler). The DB5 can also be used in the video games Agent Under Fire and From Russia with Love. The DB5 also made cameo appearances in the comedy film, The Cannonball Run, driven by Roger Moore's character, and in the TV-film The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E., George Lazenby, playing a Bond-like character referred to as "JB", drives a DB5 (with the licence plate "JB"). It also appears in numerous other films in association to Bond including a small cameo in Catch Me If You Can (2002) where the main character purchases one to be like Bond, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) in which Bernie Mac's Bosley drives one and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004) in which Geoffrey Rush, playing Peter Sellers, is shown driving one at the time of making Casino Royale, even though in real life that film did not feature the vehicle. A model is currently on display in the International Spy Museum in the Penn Quarter neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
The Goldfinger DB5 with gadgets was sold on October 27, 2010 for $4.6m (£2.9m) to the car collector Harry Yeaggy.[23][24] It features the pop out gun barrels behind the front indicators, the bullet shield behind the rear window and a 3-way revolving front number plate showing "GOLD FINGER" or "JB007" or "BMT216A". |
Thunderball | Aston Martin DB5 | Shown in the teaser scenes. | |
On Her Majesty's Secret Service | Aston Martin DBS[25] | The car was seen in only four scenes, including the pre-credits teaser and as James and Tracy's wedding car. Nothing is known about what kind of gadgets were installed, except that it had a hiding place for a sniper rifle in the glovebox. Obviously — given what happens at the end of that movie — it was not fitted with bulletproof glass. The DBS is glimpsed in the subsequent film, Diamonds Are Forever, parked up in Q Branch back in London when Bond calls Q from Amsterdam. The car was actually cropped out of the frame on the "pan-and-scan version" of the film. | |
The Living Daylights | Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante | A convertible, it is later "winterised" with a hardtop. It comes with all the usual refinements, including extending side outriggers, spike-producing tires, missiles, lasers (an update of the DB5's tyre-slashers), signal-intercepting smart radio, head-up display and rocket propulsion. It could also self-destruct when primed. | |
GoldenEye | Aston Martin DB5 | Driven in the opening scenes by Bond, whilst racing a Ferrari. | |
Tomorrow Never Dies | Aston Martin DB5 | Seen parked in front of Oxford University and driven by Bond in a transitional scene of Bond arriving at the Ministry of Defence | |
The World Is Not Enough | Aston Martin DB5 | Seen parked in at the funerals of Sir Robert King | |
Die Another Day | Aston Martin V12 Vanquish[26] | The car is equipped with all the usual refinements, including front-firing rockets between two machine guns, hood-mounted target-seeking shotguns, spike-producing tires, again and a passenger ejector seat in homage to the original Aston Martin DB5, but used here in a clever bit of improvisation by 007 to right the car when it's been flipped onto its roof. The Aston was also equipped with "adaptive camouflage" – a cloaking device that allowed it to become effectively invisible at the push of a button. This vehicle was also featured in the video games Nightfire (2002) and Everything or Nothing (2004). | |
Casino Royale | Aston Martin DB5, Aston Martin DBS V12 | Featured in the second Casino Royale.[27] No special gadget was visible on the DBS other than the secret compartments which housed Bond's Walther P99, and an emergency med kit which includes components of an emergency medical link to MI6 HQ, antidotes to various poisons and a small defibrillator. The DB5 is owned by a gambling villain in the Bahamas, which Bond acquires in a poker game. It has no special modifications. | |
Quantum of Solace | Aston Martin DBS V12 | A slightly darker coloured vehicle to that featured in Casino Royale is heavily damaged after a chase at the beginning of the film in Siena, Italy. | |
Skyfall | Aston Martin DB5 | Two gadgets are shown on this vehicle, the ejector seat (although not demonstrated) and two front firing machine guns. This is the first time the machine guns have been used in action since 1964's Goldfinger. This car is destroyed in the climactic battle scene. It is not stated in the film if this is the same Aston Martin DB5 that Bond obtained in Casino Royale. An Aston Martin DB5 appeared in 007 Blood Stone and shared a similar fate to the DB5 in Skyfall. | |
Spectre | Aston Martin DB10, Aston Martin DB5 | MI6/James Bond | Originally intended for 009, Bond absconds to Rome with the vehicle. Gadgets include a rear-facing double-barreled gun, a rear-facing flamethrower, and an ejection seat with parachute. Following a chase and successful ejection, Bond sinks the car in the Tiber. The DB5 from Skyfall is found in Q's lab, in the process of being rebuilt, and is seen completed at the end of the film, to be driven from MI6 by 007. |
- Bamford & Martin 1.5 litre Side Valve
The Bamford & Martin 1.5 litre Side Valve Short Chassis Tourer was James Bond's first car. He inherited it around Easter 1933 in the first Young Bond novel SilverFin from his uncle Max at the age of thirteen. Bond regularly drove the car, although he was underage, and stored it in a nearby garage while he attended Eton. The car was destroyed in the third Young Bond novel, Double or Die, in December 1933 leading Bond to replace it by purchasing the Bentley Mark IV shortly thereafter in the same novel.
- Aston Martin DB Mark III
Bond drives an Aston Martin DB Mark III, which is referred to as a "DB III" in the novel Goldfinger. The "DB3" was a car designed specifically for racing and is unlikely that Bond would drive one. The DB Mark III is often called the DB III and is more comparable to its description in Fleming's novel. This car was the only gadget-laden vehicle to be mentioned in the original Bond novels, though Fleming generally avoided gadgetry in his books. It included switches to alter the type of color of the front and rear lights, reinforced steel bumpers, a Colt .45 pistol in a trick compartment under the driver's seat, and a homing device similar to the DB5 in the film.

- Bentley Mark IV
There has never been a Bentley model known as the "Mark IV": neither from the "old" W.O. Bentley firm, nor from Rolls-Royce after the takeover of Bentley Motors in 1931. The "Mark IV" appellation seems to have been created by Ian Fleming, and erroneously perpetuated since. In contradistinction to the films, James Bond's official car in the Ian Fleming novels was a grey 1933 Bentley convertible. The car featured a 4.5 L engine with the Amherst Villiers supercharger. In the novels, no gadgets were installed; this was Bond's personal vehicle that is mentioned in Casino Royale as being a hobby that Bond enjoys working on. Its only armament, in the novels, is a .45 Colt Army Special revolver Bond keeps in the glove compartment. The novel version of the Bentley Mark IV was destroyed during a chase sequence in Moonraker. The Bentley is also the very first Bond vehicle seen in the film series, although it was shown very briefly during Bond's first scene in From Russia with Love and mentioned only in passing in Goldfinger. In From Russia with Love, the only gadget known to be included was a car phone, which in 1963 was very uncommon. The film version of Goldfinger strongly implies that the Bentley was issued to Bond by Q-Branch, since he asks Q about the vehicle, only to be told that it had "had its day". He is given the Aston Martin instead.
In Casino Royale, Fleming writes that Bond bought the car "almost new" in 1933 and had it stored during the war, which is mentioned in the Young Bond novel Double or Die. In Live and Let Die Fleming states the automobile's year as 1933, however in Moonraker Fleming states it is from 1930. This earlier date is the correct one, as the Bentley 4½ Litre ceased production in 1930.
- Bentley Mark VI
Made in 1953, Bond purchases his second Bentley towards the end of the novel, Moonraker. Like his previous Bentley, the Mark VI is grey with dark blue leather upholstery. After Moonraker this model is never mentioned again.
- Bentley Mark II Continental
A Bentley Mark II Continental was featured in the novel Thunderball and is Bond's final Bentley. Bond, having purchased the car in a wrecked state, upgrades the engine from a 4.5 L engine to a 4.9 L and has a custom drophead body from Mulliners. The Mark II was also grey; however, the interior was black leather. The Mark II Continental is last seen in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service where Bond upgrades the vehicles once again with an Arnott supercharger controlled by a magnetic clutch, causing Rolls-Royce, worried about potential damage to the engine, to disown the car. He uses the car in a race with the Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo in her Lancia Flaminia Spyder towards the beginning of the book. Bond dubs the car "the locomotive".
- Bentley Mulsanne Turbo
Bond purchases a Mulsanne Turbo in John Gardner's Role of Honour. The car is British racing green with magnolia interior. It is outfitted with a long-range telephone and a hidden weapon compartment.

---|---|---|---|
Dr. No | Motor Patrol Boat | Royal Navy | With a crew of British sailors on this naval patrol boat, Felix Leiter finds Bond and Honey adrift at sea in their escape boat and offers to rescue them - but Bond prefers to be left alone with Honey. |
Cabin Cruiser Patrol Boat | Dr. No | A cabin cruiser used as a patrol boat by Dr. No's security force to protect their employer's private island of Crab Key. This boat appears off shore and strafes the beach (where Bond, Honey Ryder and Quarrel are hiding) with machine gun fire. | |
Cabin Cruiser Water Taxi | Dr. No or Water Taxi Captain | Operated by a fearful Jamaican Captain, this rather unkempt boat provides water taxi service between Kingston, Jamaica, and Crab Key. The main rule for the operation of this boat is that it never make the trip in daylight - but emergency conditions prompt the persistent passenger, Professor Dent, to ignore this rule at his own peril. It is seen both as a full-sized prop and as a scale model on a miniature set. | |
Lyman Islander 18 Runabout | Dr. No | Moored to the docks at Dr. No's bauxite mine, this little runabout is commandeered by Bond and used to escape Crab Key with Honey. Seen both as a full-sized prop and as a scale model on a miniature set, it is featured in the final shot of the movie. | |
Motor Longboat | Felix Leiter or rental | This simple motorized dinghy is used by Felix to transport Bond from Kingston Harbor to his rendezvous at sea with Quarrel's boat. | |
Sailing Dinghies | Quarrel and Honey Ryder | Two such simple sailboats (one belonging to Honey and one belonging to Quarrel) are featured: one to covertly transport Bond and Quarrel onto Crab Key by night and the other to do the same for Honey. Her beached boat is destroyed by machine gun fire, while Quarrel's (which is normally used for fishing trips) features in several earlier scenes, as well. | |
Tugboat | Dr. No | This industrial tug escorts the water taxi up to the bauxite mine docks on Crab Key. It is not a life-sized vessel, but is instead represented by a scale model on a miniature set. | |
Passenger Liner Evangeline | Unknown Shipping Company | A background vessel prominently visible at Kingston Harbor when Bond first meets Quarrel, owned by the Volusia Steamship Co. in real life. With her name changed to Yarmouth Castle, this ship was lost at sea in a tragic fire 3 years later. | |
From Russia With Love | Luxury Yacht | Ernst Stavro Blofeld or SPECTRE | Blofeld (#1) holds a planning meeting with Rosa Klebb (#3) and Kronsteen (#5) aboard this vessel, anchored in Venice Harbor. For the failure of his plan, Kronsteen is later executed at another meeting aboard this same vessel. |
Fairey Huntress 23 Powerboat | SPECTRE | Intended as Red Grant's escape boat, this craft (equipped with extra fuel drums on a modified rack) is commandeered by Bond and used as an escape boat for himself and Tatiana Romanova off the Dalmatian Coast. Two of the SPECTRE powerboats that chase them are also Huntresses - both of which are destroyed by fire. | |
Fairey Huntsman 28 Powerboat | SPECTRE | Two of the four SPECTRE powerboats that chase Bond and Tatiana's commandeered boat off the Dalmatian Coast (one of which carries the SPECTRE officer, Morzeny) are Huntsmen - both of which are destroyed by fire. This scene was quite problematic, because someone put the wrong kind of fuel into the Fairey boats and they kept stalling out during filming. | |
Motor Dinghy | Ernst Stavro Blofeld or SPECTRE | Presumably deployed from Blofeld's yacht, this small craft brings Kronsteen to the meeting aboard the larger luxury vessel. | |
Venitian Gondola | Gondolier Service | Operated by a traditional gondolier, this romantic tourist gondola carries Bond and Tatiana along the canals of Venice, Italy, in the final scene of the movie. Other such gondolas are seen in the establishing shots of Venice. | |
Dinghy | Kerim Bey or British Intelligence | Kerim transports Bond through the ancient underground aqueducts of Istanbul in a small punted dinghy (kept beneath the British Intelligence station), to a chamber beneath the Soviet embassy, where they can observe an enemy meeting room by periscope. | |
Punt | Bond, Sylvia Trench or rental | Bond and Sylvia relax and prepare to enjoy a picnic lunch in a grounded punting boat alongside a river in a park somewhere in the London area, just before he is called away on his mission by headquarters. Another couple also passes by on the river in a similar punt. | |
Goldfinger | None | None | This is one of the few Bond movies with no prominent watercraft used or owned by any significant character - though there are a few incidental boats (being small rowboats or sailboats) seen at the docks where Bond swims ashore to sabotage a Latin American oil storage facility in the pre-credit action sequence and many incidental boats (of various recreational types) seen in the background off Miami Beach. |
Thunderball | Specialized Luxury Yacht Disco Volante | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | With an Italian name that means "Flying Saucer" in English, the Disco Volante is a modern, low slung, luxury yacht with a crew of several dozen and many secret features. Having underwater security cameras and an internal mini-sub/bomb storage bay with underwater hull doors, it can separate into two sections. The nose section becomes a high-speed hydrofoil, while the unpowered, rear "cocoon" section becomes a weapons platform (sprouting hidden machine guns, a light artillery gun in an armored barbette, and a smokescreen generator). Seen both as a full-sized prop and as a scale model, this vessel plays a key part in Largo's entire plot and escape attempt. The scale model version is destroyed in an explosive crash into a coral islet. In real life, the hydrofoil section is modified from an Italian-built Rodriquez Cantieri Navali PT 20, with a cocoon section specially built for the movie by the 3M Shipyard of Miami. |
Type 12M Rothesay Class Frigate HMS Rothesay (F107) | Royal Navy | While deployed to Bahamian waters, this real life British warship (crewed by actual RN personnel) participated in the movie filming for 3 days, appearing as one of the 5 military vessels in pursuit of the Disco Volante during the climactic naval chase. In this capacity, the ship even fires upon the enemy yacht with its main artillery gun (presumably loaded with blanks). The film's stars, Sean Connery and Claudine Auger were given a well publicized tour of the Royal Navy vessel at the time. | |
Cape Class Patrol Boats USCGC Cape Knox (CG95312) and USCGC Cape Horn (CG95322) | US Coast Guard | This identical pair of real life US Coast Guard patrol boats (crewed by actual Coast Guard personnel) participated in the movie filming as 2 of the 5 military vessels in pursuit of the Disco Volante during the climactic naval chase. | |
Mark V 40' UTB Utility Boat (CG40590) | US Coast Guard | This real life US Coast Guard utility boat (crewed by actual Coast Guard personnel) participated in the movie filming as 1 of the 5 military vessels in pursuit of the Disco Volante during the climactic naval chase. Generally known as a "Forty" or "Forty Boat" (due to its length in feet), this type of UTB was quite common in USCG service at the time. | |
Mark I 40' UTB Utility Boat (CG40410) | US Coast Guard | This real life US Coast Guard utility boat (crewed by actual Coast Guard personnel) participated in the movie filming as 1 of the 5 military vessels in pursuit of the Disco Volante during the climactic naval chase. Generally known as a "Forty" or "Forty Boat" (due to its length in feet), this type of UTB was quite common in USCG service at the time. This particular boat, however (with a prone sailor firing a .30 cal machine gun from its bow), looks to have been significantly modified with the removal of its cabin and other changes in its appearance - but the hull number (CG40410) clearly identifies it as part of the Mark I "Forty Boat" series. | |
28' Chris-Craft Sea Skiff Powerboat | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | Driven by the Captain of the Disco Volante and manned by some of the yacht's crewmen, this large powerboat picks Domino, Largo, and his entourage up at the Café Martinique Casino, when they leave. It is probably kept at Largo's Palmyra estate. | |
22' Chris-Craft Sea Skiff Runabout | Water Taxi Service or Café Martinique | Bond arrives at the Café Martinique Casino in this classic runabout, which seems to be operated as a public water taxi or guest service boat by the Casino. Another similar water taxi is seen leaving with a load of tourists just as Bond arrives at the dock. | |
Buehler Turbocraft Runabout | Domino Derval or Emilio Largo/SPECTRE | As one of the first jet boats to be marketed, this unique runabout either belongs to Domino or has been provided for her use by Largo. It is seen when Bond first meets Domino while snorkel diving off the coast of Nassau and is used by her to take him back to shore. It is also seen anchored nearby, when the two have an underwater tryst at Love Beach and is used to transfer Domino onto the Disco Volante with a geiger counter/camera for the final act. She will also lend it to Bond, as it appears in the background when he swims ashore at the Palmyra breakwater, evidently being the vessel that brought him there. | |
Evinrude Sport-16 Runabout | Paula Caplain, Pinder, British Intelligence or rental | A small, square bowed, outboard runabout that is supplied for Bond's use, possibly by Pinder (the British Intelligence Station Chief in the Bahamas) or Paula Caplain (a field assistant, who also lives there). It is used by Bond and Paula when they first meet Domino Derval while snorkel diving off the Nassau coast, whereupon Bond transfers from the Evinrude with Paula to Domino's boat. It is seen again when Bond and Felix Leiter reconnoiter the anchored Disco Volante by day. (NOTE: Due to a continuity error, this description applies only to the wide exterior shots - while the studio close-ups in front of a rear projection screen show Bond and Leiter in a slightly different, unidentifiable prop boat) | |
Evinrude Playmate Runabout | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | A tiny runabout, apparently carried by the Disco Volante as a dinghy. It is used by 3 of Largo's men in an attempt to run Bond down while he conducts an underwater reconnaissance of the yacht by night. Hitting something, they believe they have killed him, but have actually only clipped his detached scuba tank with the boat's propeller. | |
Bomb Sled Submersible | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | A bright orange, spade shaped, twin prop submersible with an open 2-man cockpit and a pair of side racks for the underwater carriage of two atomic bombs, designed and built specifically for the movie. Stowed in a hangar bay aboard the Disco Volante and used by Largo's scuba crew every time the bombs must be transported to or from the yacht, it also features handholds for the external carriage of several more divers (in addition to the 2-man crew), 6 forward-firing spear guns and 2 headlights. As such, it also serves as a kind of underwater tank in battle, until captured by US Navy divers allied with Bond. This craft is also used by Largo and Bond (when disguised as a SPECTRE diver). It is incorrectly referred to by Largo as a "submarine", though it is clearly a "submersible". The difference is that the former is a sealed underwater vessel that stays dry with an oxygenated atmosphere inside, while the latter is un underwater vessel that is open to the sea or fills with water, requiring any crew members to wear scuba gear. | |
Scuba Sleds | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | Several small, wedge shaped, 1-man, motorized aqua-sleds with handlebar controls, for the external carriage of scuba divers, designed and built specifically for the movie. Stowed in a hangar bay aboard the Disco Volante and frequently used by Largo's scuba crew during underwater operations, they also feature twin, forward-firing spear guns and headlights for combat. During the climactic, underwater battle scene, one of these craft is used by Largo and another two (commandeered from the enemy on separate occasions) are used by Bond. Most seem to be abandoned at sea with the defeat of SPECTRE. | |
Motorized Scuba Rig | Issued to Bond by British Intelligence | A specialized, triple-tanked scuba rig, designed and built specifically for the movie, with a small electric motor for self-propulsion. Featuring a forward-firing mini-torpedo launcher and a headlight, it leaves a trail of yellow dye in the water, which is supposed to be some kind of underwater concealment device (similar to a smoke screen) to be deployed against pursuers, but is instead deployed all the time by the Director, just for the look of it. Issued to 007 by Q in Pinder's British Intelligence station and used by Bond during the climactic underwater battle, it is destroyed when he switches to a miniature re-breather and abandons the larger rig in a shipwreck to lure enemy divers close so that he can drop an underwater grenade on them. | |
Rubber Boat | Pinder or British Intelligence | A paddle-powered, commando-style assault raft (known in military parlance as a "rubber boat"), used by Leiter and Pinder to deploy Bond into the sea by night for his underwater reconnaissance of the Disco Volante. Oddly enough, they do not wait around to pick him up and he must make his own way back by hitchhiking. | |
Rescue Raft | US Navy,US Air Force or C.I.A. | A circular, self-inflating life raft, equipped with the Fulton Surface-To-Air Recovery System (STARS) and dropped to Bond and Domino at sea from a modified B-17 rescue plane. Used by the US Navy, US Air Force and C.I.A. in the early '60s, this rescue system involved a dirigible-shaped, bottle-inflated, helium balloon that would rise into the air trailing a 500 foot nylon cable with a harness at the bottom end for a rescue subject. The cable would then be caught in a special fork on the nose of the rescue plane and the rescue subject would be whisked into the air in the harness to trail beneath and behind the aircraft, where a crew in the belly of the plane would snatch the cable with hooks, attach it to a winch, and reel the subject into the bomb bay. With Domino clinging tightly to him, Bond uses this system to be plucked from the sea in the final scene of the movie. | |
Catamaran Tropic Rover | Unknown | A giant, two masted, gaffe rigged catamaran, incidentally anchored near the Disco Volante off Nassau. First seen by Bond and Leiter by day, it is used by them and Pinder that night for concealment as the insertion point for Bond's underwater reconnaissance of the enemy yacht and he is chased back under it by SPECTRE boatmen afterwards, to again use it for concealment in his escape. Owned by Tropic Cruises Ltd, and captained by its designer Syd Hartshorne in real life, Tropic Rover was well known for charter tours around Nassau and was the largest catamaran in the world at that time. Two years later in 1967, she ran aground and sank in Nassau Harbor, with no loss of life. | |
