Deer Lodge, Montana, February 5th, 2006 – “Tiger, contact M. Tell him to send Little Nellie. Repeat. Little Nellie. Suggest she be accompanied by her father. Most urgent.” It is with these words that James Bond summons Little Nellie to help him track down SPECTRE in the 1967 film 'You Only Live Twice'. She arrives with her on-screen father in the guise of “Q” portrayed by Desmond Llewelyn. In reality 'Little Nellie’s' father is her creator, Wing Commander Kenneth H Wallis, who also doubled for Sean Connery and piloted his unique aircraft in the film. But his time ‘as’ 007 is just a small part of a highly interesting life and career.
