That is cool! There was another story about how Fleming may have been inspired for the Moonraker story by a Nazi scientist working for teh Brits after WWII.
What I liked about it was the like the Bond adventure it was, Sean Connery getting out of a wet suit with all dapper and ready to go was labeled unrealistic in the last few years and it turns out to be more realistic than all the Bourne movies put together

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.
