    LIGHTNING WILL STEAL SOME OF THE THUNDER
    IN NEW BOND THRILLER
    At first sight the bike parked in front
    of the Aston Martin DB 5 looks innocent
    enough, but, as the close up of the front
    forks shows, it is no ordinary machine.
    It started out as a standard 650cc BSA
    Lightning. Grooming by the Special Effects
    Department at Britain’s Pinewood Studios
    soon altered that, and it emerged fully
    equipped with rocket-firing apparatus for
    its part in the new James Bond film
    “Thunderball” — due for release in the
    autumn.
    The Aston Martin is another unusual
    roadster,, which made news during the film-
    ing of 007’s duel with the late Ian Flem-
    ing’s twentieth-century Midas "Goldfinger.”
    History has a habit of repeating itself, and
    no doubt the Lightning will soon be equally
    famous!
