First Sea Lord
Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said: “I am delighted to welcome honorary
Commander Daniel Craig to the Royal Navy. Our honorary officers act as
ambassadors and advocates for the Service, sharing their time and
expertise to spread the message about what our global, modern, and
ready Royal Navy is doing around the world.
“Daniel Craig is well known for being Commander Bond for the last 15
years – a Naval officer who keeps Britain safe through missions across
the globe.
“That’s what the real Royal Navy does every day, using technology and
skill the same way as Bond himself. I look forward to him getting to
see more of our sailors and marines over the coming months and years.”
As well as HMS Dragon making an appearance, the Royal Air Force also
granted access to key assets and personnel. RAF Brize Norton, in
Oxfordshire, was used as a backdrop in the film, standing in for a
NATO airbase in Norway where Bond joins MI6 allies and later boards a
C-17 Globemaster. |
