007 drops in on Camp Bastion

JAMES Bond paid a surprise visit to British personnel stationed at Camp Bastion, in Afghanistan, yesterday.

The 007 actor joined 800 soldiers, sailors and airmen at the base in Helmand Province as they prepared to watch the latest instalment in the spy series, Skyfall.

Craig, 44, went on a “morale-boosting” tour of the camp and saw soldiers train before they deploy to forward operating bases.

It was reported yesterday that the actor is set to earn more than £31 million after signing up for two more Bond films. The deal will make him one of the highest paid actors, behind Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio.
