No Mr Bond I expect you to bid! Jet from opening scene of Octopussy and Dr Blofeld's leather chair among the iconic 007 movie props up for auction

The jet aircraft is just one of more than 25 lots of 007 memorabilia spanning four decades being auctioned off at the sale in Beverley Hills, California, later this month. Julien's Auctions' Icons & Idols: Hollywood sale will also see the hovercraft used in the 2002 film Die Another Day up for sale, with an estimate of between $30,000 and $40,000. With a rather more modest estimate of $8,000 to $10,000 is the screen-used helicopter prop from the 1967 film You Only Live Twice.
