Goldfinger Q lab scene / Work bench!

An interesting and quite fun one here, other than the mills grenade and lamp can anyone hazard a guess of identifying the parts and things on the table? Whats the Q lab assistant/technician fiddling with?

minigeff · June 2011

well i spy an attache case for starters....

cris_19010689 · June 2011

im putting my money on Q's assistant fiddling with a prototype motorised mechanism for moving the machine guns forward on the db5...well either a prototype or a "mk 2" version

I believe that the scene was filmed at the Newport Pagnell paint shop, at the Aston Martin Works on Tickford St.
Could be some odd bits laying about- looks as if some may be from a paint gun of the time.
I recall sourcing the grenade, Luger (in resin), and all the bits for the DB5 gadgets for a fellow Aston guy a few years ago. Had the console switches made to exact specs.

Tom
Interestingly all of the specs I've seen for the DB5 weapons tray show a 7.63 Bolo Mauser, you put a Luger in and Connery, if we assume he pulled it from the weapons tray after the chase, had a 9mm Walther P38

Jeff, I believe the Walther P-38 was the one being held on him by the Korean guard before he "left" via the rooftop.

I can't believe with all the "identification" initiatives in this thread NO ONE identified one of our very own AJBers!!!

Gadget Meister · June 2011

Whoops!...Tilly eating hat sequence came before the aforementioned rooftop exit. The P38 in question was a continuity error for the sequence shot in Pinewood's Black Park.

Which just goes to prove none of us are immune from senilty, self included for not picking up on that

Gebruder Gumbold · June 2011

Ooops, it was a Mauser! Got one in resin from God-knows-where a few years back. Been so absorbed with the DBS project that I have forgotten all of the DB5 info I collected and worked on over the years. Set up a nice silver (not Silver Birch) Db5 with the correct Talbot Berlin morrors. Even made the spoon-like radar scanner with a small motor that made it go round, and had an inspection hole in the mirror, making the side mirror, which is useless way out on the front wing, even more useless!

The Sykes- Fairbairn (sp?) knife was in the tray too, I believe...

Hi Tom
I believe it was a FRWL Briefcase throwing knife, def not an SF Commando.

So we have:

Broomhandle/Bolo? 7.63 Mauser
Armalite AR7
Sight for AR7
Silencer/Supressor for AR7/Mauser?
FRWL Throwing Knife
Mills Bomb (Grenade)

Hope that helps, thanks to Ed for the original photo.

Ok now lets get back to what this thread is about IDENTIFYING bits of gadgetry on the table! we know the attache case, millsbomb and obviously the lamps also maybe db5 blueprints? There must be somebody out there who knows all of it......Im betting Andy and Ed has the knowledge required.

Gadget Meister · June 2011

OK I'll kick it off with two angle poise lamps and a loudspeaker cone.......... over to you Ed {[]

Tecolote · June 2011

As to the P-38, Bond has it in hand, when he exits the DB5 and tells Tilly to run. The continuity error creeps in when,afterwards, the future ejectee guards Bond with a snubbed Smith & Wesson revolver that morphs into a P-38(or vice versa).

Regards,

Tecolote

thespyboys11 · June 2011

I know it's not...but, doesn't that look like a "Lightsaber" on the table by Connerys groin...LOL
Ed

PS: there's the two part aluminium thermos that the Mills Bomb sits inside of.
