1. Sean Connery starred in 7 Bond films: 6 "Official" (Dr. No., From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, and Diamonds are Forever), and one "unofficial" (Never Say Never Again).
2. Bond preferred to carry the Beretta (presumed to be the .25 calibre Spitfire), but gave it up for the Walther PPK, due to a jamming incident (that occurred in the book 'From Russia with Love', incidentally-- even though the switch happened in the movie Dr. No), and in preference for not going back to 'standard intelligence duties'.
3. Diamonds Are Forever.
"Hi, I'm Plenty. Plenty O'Toole"
"Named after your father perhaps?"
Played by Lana Wood.
4. Little Nelly was the one-man helicopter (autogyro) used in You Only Live Twice. Four other helicopters made 'improper advances', but she defended her honour 'with great success' via machine guns, arial mines, flame throwers, and air-to-air missiles.
C'mon, gimme something difficult!
