Achmed
1: One of the Beirut cabaret owner's goons, sent to deter Bond from speaking to Saida. (TMWTGG)
2: Somebody who was either going to be the user or the victim of a particularly nasty piece of Q's equipment during his tea party. (TSWLM)

Acid
One of Blofeld's lab technicians tries to stop Bond by throwing a flask of this at him, but Bond's bullets are rather better aimed. Q later develops a mix of nitric and hydrochloric acid, dispensed from a Montblanc fountain pen, that can eat through almost any metal. (OHMSS, OP)

Acme Pollution Inspection
The organisation Bond jokingly claims to represent when he arrives on Blofeld's oil rig. "We're cleaning up the world," he says, "and thought this was a suitable starting point." (DAF)

Acorns, The
Shady Tree's two busty assistants in his Whyte House nightclub act in Las Vegas. (DAF)

Adam
(Tommy Lane)
Tee Hee's second in command, Adam commands the chase after Bond following his escape from Kananga's crocodile farm. After a run-in with Sheriff J W Pepper, Adam steals a speedboat from Pepper's brother-in-law Billy-Bob and goes after Bond personally. Although Adam is armed with a shotgun, Bond defeats him by throwing petrol in his eyes as he goes past and then ramming his boat into a moored ship, where it explodes. (LALD)

Adams & Adams
Firm of solicitors based in the same building as Universal Exports. (DN)

Afternoon Tea
What Drax considers to be Britain's sole contribution to Western civilisation. (MR)

Aftershave
One brand of aftershave alerts Bond to the presence of danger; he recognises Wint's foul stench from the aftershave he had inadvertently spilt over the unconscious Bond. Although not intended as a weapon, another aftershave (this one in an aerosol) sees off a deadly snake slipped into Bond's hotel room when the quick-thinking agent ignites the spray with his cigar and toasts the unlucky reptile. (DAF, LALD)

Aide
(Richard Parmentier)
The assistant to the commander of Feldstadt air force base, who, blithely unaware that a nuclear bomb is quietly ticking down to detonation not far away, remarks that his boss will "get a blast" from the circus performance they're watching. (OP)

Air Cavalry
The US Marine Corps division that attacks Blofeld's oil rig with Huey and Defender helicopter gunships. (DAF)

Air Conditioner
Part of a SPECTRE astronaut's gear; unfamiliarity with astronaut procedures leads to Bond being spotted by Blofeld while attempting to board the Intruder rocket. (YOLT)

Air France
The French national airline, used by Holly Goodhead and Bond to fly from Venice to Rio de Janiero. It is one of only two airlines in the world operating the Concorde. (MR)

The part of his space city that Drax hopes will be the last thing that Bond ever sees. In the end, it turns out to be Drax's final port of call. (MR)

Air Vice Marshall
(Edward Underdown)
The highest-ranking RAF officer, who helps M brief the 00 agents on Operation Thunderball. He has been knighted (M calls him 'Sir John') but his surname is unknown. (TB)

Akbar Shah
A 114 carat rough diamond shown to Bond before he begins his investigation of diamond smuggling. M actually tells Bond the diamond is 116 carats despite its label - perhaps his eyesight is going along with his liver! (DAF)

Aki
(Akiko Wakabayashi)
A Japanese SIS agent with whom Bond liases closely - very closely! - during his mission in Japan. She saves him from death twice, both times helping him escape from Osato's men in her Toyota. However, like many of Bond's conquests, she meets an untimely end when she takes a dose of poison, dripped from the ceiling above their bed, that was meant for Bond. (YOLT)

Alarm Clock, Explosive
Part of Q's holiday kit, "guaranteed to never wake up anybody who uses it". (LTK)

Albert
The name of a crocodile at Kananga's croc farm that once bit Tee Hee's arm off. Bond congratulates the croc for this. (LALD)

Alexander the Great
One of the numerous dummies of past military leaders featured in Brad Whitaker's museum, with the arms dealer's face. (TLD)

Amarez
Unseen Latin American terrorist and drug lord, whose cache of nitro-methane explosive Bond destroys, in the process putting him out of business for some time. (GF)

Amasova, Major Anya
(Barbara Bach)
Also known as Triple X, Anya is the KGB's top agent who, she claims, has never failed to complete a mission. When her lover, fellow KGB agent Sergei Varzov, is killed on a mission, she vows to see that his killer (Bond) suffers the same fate. Anya drinks Barcadi on the rocks and enjoys travelling by train - she once made a romatic journey this way with Varzov. Two years before she met Bond, she managed to steal the blueprints for his Lotus from Q Branch. She knows karate, is familiar with the workings of the internal combustion engine and went on a survival course in Siberia, all of which makes her a match for 007.
When she discovers that Bond was the man who killed Varzov, she tells him that as soon as their mission together is completed, she will kill him. Despite this, Bond still risks his life to save her from Atlantis as it sinks, and ultimately Anya repents and not only lets him live, but grants him his 'final request' - "Let's get out of these wet things." (TSWLM)

Ambassador, British
(Patrick Barr)
The British representative in East Germany, who has a large and lavishly appointed (though not terribly well-guarded - the mortally wounded 009, in a clown suit, reaches the building without being challenged) residence in East Berlin. His receptions are noted in society for their host's exquisite taste, which probably means he would never, ever serve Ferrero Rocher. (OP)

Ambulanceman
(Guy di Rigo)
One of Drax's thugs, whose job it is to keep watch on Bond and Holly Goodhead while they are tied to stretchers in the back of a bogus ambulance. He's not very good at his job, being easily distracted by Holly while Bond gets loose from his ties and sets off a fire extinguisher in his face, before both men are thrown from the back of the ambulance and roll down the road on a trolley. Bond jumps clear, but the ambulanceman ends up with his head embedded in a British Airways billboard. (MR)

AMC Hornet
A red test drive car Bond steals from a showroom in Bangkok - with the intended test driver, J W Pepper, still inside! The car proves its worth, surviving a gruelling car chase and a 360 degree rolling jump over a broken bridge. (TMWTGG)

AMC Matador
A luxury sports car driven by Scaramanga and Nick Nack in Bangkok. This particular Matador is unique - it has been equipped with hardware that allows it to be fitted with a wing and engine unit and turned into an aircraft! (TMWTGG)

Amazoco
A Brazilian river that Q mistakenly claims was the area in which the black orchid was found. (MR)

Anders, Andrea
(Maud Adams)
Andrea is Francisco Scaramanga's mistress, and has grown to hate him - but daren't leave him. It was she who sent the golden bullet with Bond's number on it to MI6, hoping that a direct threat would encourage the organisation to eliminate the assassin. Although she knows of Bond by reputation (Scaramanga has often spoken of him), she doesn't seem to recognise him when he enters her hotel room - even though she knows about Bond's waxwork. Andrea offers Bond anything she has, even herself, if he will kill Scaramanga.
Association with Scaramanga has made her cautious enough to take a gun wherever she goes - even into the shower. But she is not cautious enough to avoid his wrath when he discovers her betrayal. She arranges to meet Bond at a kick-boxing match to give him the Solex, but Scaramanga is already there, and kills her with a bullet from his golden gun. "A difficult shot," the assassin remarks to Bond, "but most gratifying." (TMWTGG)

Anfo
A type of explosive made by Zorin Industries, and used in huge quantities in his plan to flood Silicon Valley. (AVTAK)

One of HMS Ranger's crew, selected by the first officer to follow him on what turns out to be an (inadvertant) suicide mission. (TSWLM)

Anna
(Michelle Arthur)
A friend and fellow programmer of Natalya Simyonova at Severnaya, who has a low opinion of Boris Grishenko. She is killed, along with almost everyone else at the base, when Xenia Onatopp and General Ouromov arrive to steal the control key for the Goldeneye. (GE)

Just a few of the London-based companies that Trevelyan planned to raid by computer, before wiping out the evidence of his crime by firing the Goldeneye satellite at the city. (GE)

Annoying Whining Noise
It doesn't matter what kind of aircraft Bond may be in, be it light aircraft, twin prop, mini-jet, helicopter or private jet - if it's heading towards the ground at a rate of knots, it always makes exactly the same screeching sound. Which is apparently that of some WWII fighter in a dive. Eon, please - spend a few bucks on a new sound effect! (OP, AVTAK, TLD, GE)

Antenna Array
Trevelyan's secret weapon in his plan to make Britain pay for betraying his family - a huge transmitter dish in Cuba, built under the noses of the perpetually watching Americans by being constructed under the surface of a lake. Minutes before he is due to fire the Goldeneye, the lake is drained and huge telescopic masts raise the main antenna into position above the dish. When Bond races up to the array to destroy the main transmitter, Trevelyan goes after him. To prevent the antenna being realigned so that Boris Grishenko can countermand Natalya Simyonova's commands to the Goldeneye, Bond jams a metal rod into its gears, overloading the motors and eventually causing the whole structure to explode. (GE)

Apollo Airways
Small private airline, apparently staffed only by people who want to kill Bond. (MR)

Apostis
(Jack Klaff)
One of Kristatos's thugs who boards the Triana and kills its crew while Bond and Melina Havelock are underwater. At St Cyrils, he nearly kills Bond by knocking out the pitons of his climbing rope one by one, but luckily for Bond is too stupid to call for help while doing so, and ends up with a piton in his throat and a one-way ticket to eternity. (FYEO)

Arcoll
Manufacturer of the restraint harness in Drax's centrifuge trainer. (MR)

Arkangel Chemical Weapons Facility
A Soviet chemical warfare plant producing nerve gas, which Bond and Alec Trevelyan are assigned to destroy. The facility is concealed in a mountain beneath the huge Byelomorye Dam. (GE)

Armourer

Armourlite III
British-made brand of bulletproof glass, two inches thick, which Sanchez has installed in his office in Isthmus City. (LTK)

AR7
A folding sniper rifle made by Q Branch, which can be dismantled and all the parts fitted inside its own stock. The rifle is .25 calibre with an infra-red telescopic sight. (FRWL)

Ascorbic Acid
Chemical manufactured by Osato Chemical, about which Bond, acting as Mr Fisher of Empire Chemicals, enquires. (YOLT)

Ascot
A major British sporting event, held every year at, er, Ascot, in which horse racing is something a sideline to networking and the wearing of expensive hats. (AVTAK)

Assistant Manager
(Humberto Elizondo)
The smarmy second-in-command of the Hotel Mary Tierra in Isthmus City. (LTK)

Aston Martin DB5
Model of Aston Martin, registration number BMT 216A, used by Bond for field operations. After modification by Q Branch, the DB5 sports bulletproof windows, revolving number plates, a navigation screen with maps covering the whole of Europe that also displays the location of homing devices, defensive smoke generators and oil sprayers, an extra bulletproof screen for the rear of the car, machine guns hidden behind the sidelights, revolving tyre slashers hidden in the hubcap spinners and a passenger ejector seat. Later modifications included high-pressure water cannons hidden in the exhaust pipes. Bond eventually adopted a second DB5, registration BMT 214A, as his own personal transport - this car was fitted with a satellite communications link to MI6 and a colour fax machine, as well as a handy compartment for keeping Bollinger perfectly chilled. (GF, TB, GE, TND)

Aston Martin DBS
The successor to Bond's DB5, which has a sniper rifle in the glove compartment, and the car that he drove from his wedding. Tragically, his new bride Tracy is killed in a drive-by shooting by Blofeld and Irma Bunt as the usual bullet-proof windows have been wound down. (OHMSS)

Aston Martin Volante
Bond's car, registration B549 WUU, when he travels to Czechoslovakia on the trail of Koskov. The Volante can either be a convertible or have a hardtop fitted, and Q's modifications include a radio scanner, laser beams in the wheel hubs to slice pursuing vehicles apart, missiles behind the foglights, a heads-up display on the windscreen, pop-out tyre spikes and ski outriggers for driving on snow and ice, a rocket booster behind the rear number plate and - as a last resort - a self-destruct device. Bond uses all of these when he tries to get Kara Milovy out of the country. (TLD)

ATAC
Short for Automatic Targetting Attack Communicator, a vital piece of equipment in the Royal Navy's submarine communication system. When the St Georges, a British spy trawler containing an ATAC, is sunk in the Ionian Sea, the Royal Navy crew of the ship are unable to activate the ATAC's self-destruct timer, resulting in a Russian-backed attempt to locate the device - it could be used to undermine Britain's defences by countermanding any orders sent to its Polaris submarine fleet. (FYEO)

Atlantic Iron & Metal Co
The scrapyard where the body of mafia boss Solo, and his Lincoln Continental, are reduced to a small cube. (GF)

Atlantis
Stromberg's monolithic headquarters, a vast spider-like construct somewhere off the coast of Sardinia. The whole edifice is capable of submerging at least 200 metres beneath the ocean, or rising hundreds of feet above it to launch helicopters from its dome-covered landing pads. Atlantis houses Stromberg's dining room (complete with working open fire), his huge multi-level aquarium, a shark pool and an operations centre, as well as laboratories and an emergency escape pod. Atlantis is destroyed by torpedoes fired by USS Wayne following the collapse of Stromberg's plan to start a third world war. (TSWLM)

Atomic Specialist
(Robert MacLeod)
A bespectacled associate of Leiter, who narrowly prevents Bond from pulling the wrong wires from Goldfinger's nuclear bomb with only seven seconds left on the clock. (GF)

Atomiser
Part of the perfume set given by Blofeld to his unwitting 'angels of death'; it contains the sterility-inducing Virus Omega, which they were intended to release upon receiving a message from him. (OHMSS)

Attache Case
Q Branch issued these specially modified cases to all 00 agents, and selected lower-rank agents like Captain Nash, on potentially dangerous assignments. As well as having 20 rounds of ammunition hidden in the base, the case also contained a throwing knife that popped out of the side, an AR7 sniper rifle, 50 gold sovereigns in the lining and a tear-gas grenade disguised as a tin of talcum powder, which detonates if the case is opened incorrectly.
The latter security device was soon upgraded - Bond's black case, in his car when he is captured by Goldfinger's men in Switzerland, has a self-destruct device which explodes when the case is examined. (GF)

Aubergine, Agile
(Jean Rougerie)
A French private detective and friend of Sir Godfrey Tibbett, hired by the French Jockey Club to investigate Zorin's unaccountable successes at racing. He is a connoisseur of champagne and rather immodest about his abilities as a detective. These abilities, sadly, do not include ducking - he is killed by May Day's lethal butterfly puppets. (AVTAK)

Audi 200 Quattro
Saunders' four-wheel drive car, in which he and Bond leave Czechoslovakia. (TLD)

Auric Enterprises, AG
The name of Goldfinger's Swiss company, which acts as a cover for his smuggling operations. (GF)

The name of Goldfinger's stud farm in Kentucky. (GF)

Auxilary Feedback Circuit
Part of the solar energy station control console on Scaramanga's island. (TMWTGG)

AU 1
Registration number of Auric Goldfinger's 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III. (GF)

Ava
(Dulice Liecier)
The CIA partner of Liz, who helps Bond evade the Tangier police and brings him to Felix Leiter. (TLD)

AWACS
Short for Airborne early Warning And Control System, AWACS aircraft are mounted with a large radar dome above the fuselage. One is monitoring airspace between Florida and Cuba when it detects Sanchez's Learjet changing course for Cray Key in the Bahamas. (LTK)
