not quite related, but does anyone know what the turboprop was that u see taking off in Moonraker. Sounds like its got Rolls Royce Darts, its confused me for ages?

Yes it was a Lockheed Electra (Allison turboprops not RR Darts). However when you see Bond’s view (through the telescope) of the aircraft with “Drax Air Cargo” written on the side it is actually a large model. I have seen the model in question at an exhibition.
