Pierce Brosnan takes a break from playing James Bond on the dockside at Royal Victoria Dock. On this day the main unit, under Director Michael Apted, were on location to record close ups of Pierce in the Q Boat to tie in with sequences filmed by the 2nd Unit and stunt team. This was the only day that I had seen Michael Apted and his crew during the boat chase.

It was exactly 25 years ago today, 30th March 1999, that I visited the location of the James Bond movie "The World Is Not Enough". EON Productions had started filming the pre-titles boat chase the day before, on a slip way alongside the MI6 building at Vauxhall Cross. This was to be the first of many visits I made to the River Thames and London Docklands film shoot. To celebrate this silver anniversary I am pleased to announce the publication of my Photobook entitled "Chasing James Bond"*.
This book will contain hundreds of exclusive behind the scenes photos of the famous Boat Chase, many of which have never been published before. It will be available Worldwide in both softcover and hardback editions. More information will be revealed over the next few months, when my website www.bondpix.com will be updated.
I will continue to post pictures on Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr, a small sample of the images contained in this large landscape format book.
*Title and cover images subject to change before publication.
