Editing Colonel Sun (section)

===Inspirations===
Amis and his wife Jane spent September 1965 holidaying on the Greek island of [[Spetses]]; he used the experience to provide the background to ''Colonel Sun''.{{sfn|Leader|2006|p=554}} He followed a tradition set by Fleming of using the names of people he knew or had met during the researches for his book{{sfn|Chancellor|2005|p=117}} and he drew on the names of people he met in Greece for the novel. The boat Bond uses—''The Altair''—was the name of the boat Amis and his wife used on holiday; Ariadne's fictitious colleagues, "Legakis" and "Papadogonas" were friends who helped Amis in Greece; and the doctor who treats Bond in Chapter two was named after Amis and Jane's own doctor.{{sfn|Leader|2006|p=557}}
