Thanks
Its just a query about whether anyone can confirm the films ran on Sky in the summer of 1995. Memories place it there and I have a tape with the end of Octopussy thats followed by a promo for the debut of Malice (July29) and the Premier League for 95/96 - am unable at present to confirm if all that is one recording.
Cant find any info to back that up even in a few TV Mags from around the time.
Once again, apoligies if this is the wrong thread for that sort of question.
Why does it matter so much that Koskov is making money on the side? Of course the Russians would be mad if they knew he was smuggling opium into their country, but they don't know that.
Also; why does Pushkin have the ability to see Whittaker's account not moving? Nevermind the fact that it's horrible business practice to allow the customer to see both your costs and your supplier, shouldn't Pushkin see the money being exchanged for diamonds? Probably for other agents. Q is responsible for supplying all of MI6 so it makes sense for him to have a huge workshop. Even if that wasn't the case, Q still needs a big, sturdy room to design and test future gadgets.
Also since Q-branch handles vehicles, there's a need for space to store all of them
The Living Daylights has a convoluted plot. @Reflsin2bourbons No country would want it's high ranking military leaders involved in side businesses. It could compromise them, could lead to a black mail which would then give them the ability to damage their own country.
Pushkin isn't in business with Whitaker I don't believe. He is likely monitoring the account more from a military intelligence angle than from a business angle.
She was one of Pussy Galore's five Flying Circus pilots, but I'm not sure it was the same actress in the cockpit who portrayed the role in the airfield scene:
The release script calls this person 'Jane,' which could be an actress name or a character name. Jane Holland appears in a lot of pre-production publicity photos, and she resembles the airfield actress (maybe with dyed hair):
Jane Murdoch ALSO appears in pre-production publicity, and maybe she resembles the cockpit actress?
Anyone know the answer?
I’m talking Octopussy.
It occurred to me earlier whilst I was getting ready for work.
After Bond has discovered the bomb threat at the US air base, had his tussle aboard the train, killed Grishka and been picked up by the German couple in the Beetle, and then stealing the uber cool Alfa Romeo GTV6, how did Bond know the way to the US air base?
It’s not like we had sat nav or gps back then.
I saw it a while ago but just found it again. Taken from a YouTube thumbnail hence the rounded shape.
The first time I saw it, someone claimed it was a rare publicity shot taken for TLD. I have no idea if that's true or not. It could easily be a less commonly used shot for GE or TND, though you'll notice Brosnan is holding what appears to be the same pistol that was featured in the FRWL publicity shots (which he didn't in any of the shots I've seen for the former two films), and he does look a little bit younger. Could just be a photoshop job of course. I put it into Google Lens but came up with nothing, and like I said, this is only the second time I've seen it, so any information would be much appreciated.
Brosnan's hair is from 1992 just as I estimated (I did), and just look at this magazine cover, it's the same hair, right down to the strand, but it's been edited, a bit shorter over the right eyebrow. Actually, most of the face down to and including the nose is from this photo. Suspicious vibe here, I don't like it.
Marian Collins:
And, guess what, here she is at the Fontainebleau Hotel... Was Jill Masterson a member of the Champagne Section and she was with her?? :)
Jane Murdoch and Jane Holland were another members of the Flying Circus, but they were not in the picture!.
Actually, the first time we see the pipers was shot in Kentucky, but the landing was shot in Northolt, so there were different actresses!
And what happened here?
These are promo pictures before they put their blonde wigs and with Bond girls that were replaced in the movie. Maisie Farrell, Jane Holland and Jane Murdoch are in those pictures but not in the film.
All this info and much more is in this Archivo 007 magazine ;)

I hadn't thought of that at all but you are right. Seems a reach that Bond would know the way to a US Air base. Things that make you go hmmmm.
I disagree completely. I remember the days with several hundred thousand U.S. troops stationed in Germany quite well, and everywhere on the Autobahn there were signs directing you to U.S. armed forces barracks in the vicinity. Bond knew it would be Feldstadt (disregarding that it doesn't exist in reality), and even if his expertise didn't extend to German geography as much as it did to lepidoptery, a simple road map or atlas would be enough to find out where the town is, and apparently there is an Autobahn leading to it. I think there is even a direction sign to the AFB at the Autobahn exit in Octopussy (which is in Berlin in reality). I'm pretty sure that I would have found the place, just like I would find Ramstein AFB without a navi if I tried after just looking at a map for two minutes before I leave home to go there.
