Anyone know why he didn't make it to Goldeneye to write it? I'll health perhaps? Did he perhaps write The Man with the Golden Gun there also?
Any knowledge on this greatly received.

Is there any truth to Ian Fleming writing You Only Live Twice at a pub in Kent?

"The Duck Inn" in Pett Bottom (where Fleming also set Bond's childhood).

But did he actually write YOLT there or was it written in Goldeneye and Fleming just touched it up a little?

I have reason to believe Roald Dahl penned the You Only Live Twice screenplay while intoxicated in a pub in Cambridge.

What about Harold Jack Bloom ?
