'Bond 22' set to feature McDonnell Douglas 902 helicopter

FOR your eyes only the Standard reporter Stephen Stray brings you an exclusive look at the helicopter set to appear in the next James Bond smash...

The next James Bond film is set to feature a helicopter owned by Skegness area millionaire businessman John Woodward.

The impressive McDonnell Douglas 902 - costing around

Hmm...interesting. Seems a bit early to be mentioning such Bond 22 specifics as this. Given that I doubt they've fleshed the script out to the point where they know if there'll be a big helicopter scene, I'm guessing it'll have little more then a cameo. Although the notion of Craig having to outmaneuver people in what is essentially a civilian helicopter would be a sweet action piece.

Cool.

Well, as the guy says in the article it was supposed to be used in Casino Royale and indeed there is a scene with a helicopter from the same company. It would probably be used in similar fashion for Bond 22.

It's early, but at the same time they probably made a deal with the company... that's just a guess though.

Hardly huge news here, but news nonetheless.

Plus, it's not hard to shoehorn a helicopter into the film anyways.

The more I get to thinking about it, a helicopter chase has the potential to be quite cool! We've seen several inventive car chases. Now how about Bond in a helicopter being pursued by 1-2 helicopters careening between skyscrapers and low to the street at times. It could be great (but I have no idea how you would be able to pull it off). No missiles or junk...it would be harrowing enough flitting about the buildings at dangerous speeds. The helicopter will probably not be used for much more than window dressing, so to speak, like Moon's car collection.
