Helicopter to fly through Tower Bridge
One of those routine Port of London Authority notices that makes you sigh, open to see what it is then sit up and type WHAT is very loud letters. Such moments are why I subscribe to them – for those rare nuggets of joy in the operational tedium.
In a couple of weeks time there will be filming along the Thames involving a helicopter.
And it is going to fly THROUGH Tower Bridge on one of the evenings.
The official notice sayth:
8th June 2012 10.00 – 20.00 Battersea Rail Bridge to Wappingness at various locations.
9th June 2012 10.00 – 22.00 Battersea Rail Bridge to Wappingness including a flight through Tower Bridge (Late evening).
Contingency
10th June 2012 06.00 – 20.00 Battersea Rail Bridge to Wappingness at various locations. If required.
I think it is fair to suggest that an awful lot of people will be in the area on that Saturday evening looking out for a helicopter doing something we are unlikely to see again.
I gather this is filming for a James Bond movie, although that is not confirmed. Then again, it does sound very bond-like.
