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.

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.
|
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!
|
|
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.
|
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 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.
|
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!
|
|
A brave Belinda here risked having her hand bitten off. Hang on,
didn't that crock just blink his eye?!?
|
Some of the models used in past James Bond films, including that
amphibious Lotus.
|
|
Belinda and Bob looked at some of the static pictures and exhibits further
round the James Bond exhibition.
|
Secret agent Belinda took a photo of Bond's passport. Hope the
authorities weren't watching!
|
|
Hmmm, the photo of Bond's passport didn't come out too bad
considering. Couldn't make a forgery from it though.
|
Mike taking a picture of Belinda pressing all the buttons in the top
secret underground control room, a feature of many Bond films.
|
|
A close up of the complex looking control panels. All the flashing
coloured lighting and klaxons going off have played havoc with this shot.
|
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.
|
|
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!
|
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.
