Belinda and Mike - follow our tourist travels in the UK

James Bond Exhibition, Science Museum, London April 2003 - page 1

We went to see the James Bond exhibition at The Science Museum in London and then onto the Natural History Museum to see Mike's recent ancestors!
This is page one of two.

Don't bother using the Science Museum restaurant!
We made the mistake of using the Science Museum restaurant which was overpriced, mediocre food and a long wait for it.  The guy is our friend Bob.
 

Belinda and Mike activating their secret agent card at the James Bond exhibition
We were each issued with a James Bond agent card to 'gain access to the interactive terminals'.  Here's Belinda and Mike activating it at MI6!  Ooooaarrr!

The interactive terminals looked interesting, pity we couldn't get on them!
Belinda's waiting here to use the interactive terminals.  But despite the timed ticket for the James Bond exhibition, we had to give up waiting and moved on into the main part.
 

Secret agent Mike makes a top secret call on the red phone
Mike fancies himself as an secret agent and is on the red phone to order some highly sensitive goings-on no doubt!  Well, it is in M's office!  Well, M's office in the Science Museum!

Mike liked playing with the James Bond gadgets at the exhibition
Mike likes gadgets and so he tried his hand at using some of James Bond's ones.  Mike, don't press that butto... Oh, too late!  Relevant websites on our tourist links page.
 

Belinda takes a picture of the crock with the big mouth
Further on in the exhibition and here's Belinda taking a picture of a crocodile, no doubt one that James Bond fought with in the past in one of his many dangerous missions!

Belinda wouldn't do this if he was real!
A brave Belinda here risked having her hand bitten off.  Hang on, didn't that crock just blink his eye?!?
 

A display case of Bond models used in films
Some of the models used in past James Bond films, including that amphibious Lotus.

Plenty to look at in the James Bond exhibition
Belinda and Bob looked at some of the static pictures and exhibits further round the James Bond exhibition.
 

Another photo in the bag
Secret agent Belinda took a photo of Bond's passport.  Hope the authorities weren't watching!

The photo of Bond's passport
Hmmm, the photo of Bond's passport didn't come out too bad considering.  Couldn't make a forgery from it though.
 

Belinda pressing all the buttons at the James Bond exhibition
Mike taking a picture of Belinda pressing all the buttons in the top secret underground control room, a feature of many Bond films.

Dunno what it was all for, but it looked good
A close up of the complex looking control panels.  All the flashing coloured lighting and klaxons going off have played havoc with this shot.
 

Careful Belinda, James may appear and take you for a spin!
Belinda poses with James Bond's Aston Martin.  We saw the same Bond vehicles at the Bond display at Beaulieu Motor Museum a few years ago.

Could do with those bonnet mounted guns to get through the traffic!
Ironical really, the sign here said not to touch the exhibits as they're fragile!  We don't think M told Bond that, the way he treated his equipment!

One of the many vehicles used in Bond films at the Science Museum exhibition
Bob and Belinda seen here looking at the hovercraft used in that James Bond film, er, you know the one, the one with the gorgeous girl in it.  This part was made to look like a film set.

On page 2 we visit the Natural History Museum.
 

Other London visits include HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and Tower of London.
