You Only Live Twice was the fifth outing for Sean Connery as British MI6 spy 'James Bond' and featured him flying this heavily armed gyrocopter 'Little Nellie' against the nefarious forces of SPECTRE in Japan.

RAF Wing Commander Ken Wallis invented 'Little Nellie' and piloted the aircraft in the movie, which featured fake armaments to give it the appearance of a militarised fighting machine.

In the movie adaptations of Ian Fleming's iconic spy, the charming MI6 agent was always equipped with the latest high-tech gadgets, so at the time for the 1967 film, this cool looking craft certainly fit the bill.
