The Tank stunt in Goldeneye was driven by UKstuntman and long term MV
collector Jim Dowdall. It was I understand heavily modified to allow it to
do the "handbrake turn" but was based on a T54 or 55. They sprayed oil all
over the square in the Russian town to allow it to slide easily.We have
tried on several occassions to get the tank to Beltring but Eon Productions
wish to keep it at the studio, long term aim is I believe a Bond Museum.
