More inclined to go with Stromberg's find, where "9 Eyes" actually refers to intelligence-sharing government powers and of which the UK is a member.

Looks like Hinx is standing in the

area along the water outside of the city streets

just one scene before Bond parachutes onto the bridge, so it would seem the chase ends there.

 

We've seen additional pictures of the area.  Can someone share the geographical term for where Hinx is?

New clapperboard. Will Bond drive a motorcycle again in SPECTRE? 

 

[The Dove]

Cool lookin' ride!!

[Call Billy Bob]

Loving the guns!

[Ace Roberts]

Wow, so unless I missed a post, we just jumped to scene 136 and the last known clapperboard we knew of was 80. Lots in between to figure out.

[Matt_13]

Is that our first look at Q's lab in SPECTRE? Looks like it!

[# 11]

That is arguably the best clapperboard they released to date! Quite exiting to have something like this bloody armed bike in a Bond movie – again, after so many years of seriousness. Even in the case we only spot this in the background – it's good to have these things back.

Wasn't the Q scene in SF also set around the scene 130 mark? We might get another Q-over-earpiece hunt. Or Q doing stuff in his pyjamas.

Could be, background looks a lot like "New Digs".
Do I see machine guns on the front fork?

Not an expert, but the bike looks like a modern day Norton Commando.

[Bryce (003)]

Indeed Stromberg! No afficianado on bikes myself, but looks like a retro redo of the Norton which is one of the few I've ridden. If this is indeed a look into the new Q Branch workshop, something like that would be a nice touch. While much of the background bits have been comical at times, occasionally there is always something that's "being developed".

 

One of my favorite bits in DAF - which can really only be glimpsed briefly and in widescreen format - is when Q's talking to Bond who is actually complimenting him for the notion of the fake fingerprints, The Aston Martin DBS is visible in the BG with techs loading a full battery of rockets under the hood.

 

A cool fully armed motorcycle is something I'd expect to see in Q's lab....or a sofa that swallows people. 

 

I've made a small list myself for background Q Branch gags I'd love to slip in.

 

This is very cool to see.

Exactly what my first thought was!

[Vauxhall]

A very enigmatic clapperboard. Presumably the focus is on the bike, as others have pointed out. I'm very interested to see how this one fits in.

[Simon]

If this is SPECTRE, and aligning to an upgrading of things that went before, it might be a take on the Fiona bike of Th...?  So possibly a Hinx toy.

 

I only mention the upgrading as I reckon the Aston will be introducing the ejector seat on the driver's side - if only to get Bond to parachute on to the bridge after (?) the end of the car chase, and specifically after his car dives into the water.  Actually surprised this discussion hasn't been raised as yet; this of the sequence of events to get Bond parachuting on to the night time Roman bridge...  Thoughts?

[sharpshooter]

I think this is inside Q's lab as well. The bricks give it away, I think. The bike is probably one of many tricks Q has been working on, even if Bond himself doesn't use it.

Norton Commando 961 it is. Excellent choice.

Interesting clapperboard, I take it this is from

the action sequence in London?

I'm not sure. Scene 77 would be around the same time as the Austria scenes, so I'm wondering if it's a cutaway back to something in London - more of the MI6 underground complex for instance.

[sharpshooter]

I think it could be the MI6 underground as well. Either way, it's a cool looking set. Very mysterious.

Obviously, something occurs in scenes in the seventies that sends Bond back from Austria.

[Arbogast777]

What do you make of the rather long scene number? VBB77JP?

[# 11]

V might stand for 'Visual Effects', one B maybe 'Background', the other 'Camera B' or 'Variation B'? (I'm wild guessing.)

77 is obviously the scene number, JP might be the scene number too to show a change in the former script.

[RMc2]

Looks like the MI6 docking bay Bond and Tanner go into from the Thames?

 

But like you say, 77 puts it later in the film, so it's probably a 'Team Whitehall' scene.

[Shrublands]

I could be wrong, but It looks like a docking area in the basement of a relatively modern building to me, not something that would be in the catacombs of old underground London. 

[Matt_13]

If you're implying what I think you are, does that mean that team Whitehall prefers to navigate London via boat? Certainly seems to be shaping up that way.

Perhaps not exactly what you are thinking I mean, note the use of the expression "relatively modern building". 

It looks a bit dark, gloomy and forgotten, don't you think? 

[Matt_13]

Oh I see what you mean. Interesting. I'm really glad I know so little about the production this time. There's a nice element of surprise to it.

[Shrublands]

I'm not basing this on anything I've read or been told. It's just that the architecture looks like an underground carpark in a building built in the 80s or 90s, only with water and boats.

I'd say it's under the old MI6 HQ at Vauxhall Cross with access to the river.
