I am the owner of a Hiller UH12C helicopter which is one of three used to make the 1963 James Bond Movie From Russia With Love. I would like to get some history on the machine which is serial number WH003.

Can any one help ?

Information about the pilot's that flew in this movie ?

Who were and what happened to World Helicopters ?

It has been fully restored to more or less the spec in the movie, pics at www.007helicopter.com (http://www.007helicopter.com)

Thanks - Duncan

I believe the pilot's name was Bond - Geoff Bond.

Or it could have been Mike.

You could always ask Hiller themselves, they could be a good starting point.

Their email address is [email protected]
