Nothing sinister. But I take your point.
"He's up there behind 3 inches of bulletproof glass. . ."
Just wanted to safe you from finding an unwanted extra something whenever you'd be running around Northern Europe ;-)
Or finding out the answer is negative too late when you're quoting Roger Moore in Moonraker... :-D :-D
It's also worth pointing out that in the closeup, Bond's tie is missing.
It isn't "Down, sir!" but "aşağı" meaning down in Turkish. Mystery solved.

Huh. Where'd you find that? In the SF script? ;)

The first being when Bond and M escape the trial in the Jaguar and go into hiding.
When Bond is telling Q about his plan it's broad daylight. Moments later when they arrive at Bonds lock up it darkness. I can forgive a slight lapse in time due to travel, but come on.
The second is at Skyfall itself. When Silvas men begin their attack on Skyfall it's still light. Maybe heading towards dusk. Even when Silva approaches in his helicopter it's still light.
Yet when he gets out, it's dark. Whaaaaaaaat?
Still I did enjoy SF more than usual. I can see why people like it.
The second one not so much, checking the finale on YouTube you can see it's dusk when the men arrive, a bit darker when Silva arrives, and turns darker still when the chopper takes off again. Problem is, with the bright searchlight it seems darker then it is. It is getting dark, but isn't completely yet.
I'll admit the second one is a bit of a stretch. It does seem to get dark very quickly though.
Still an enjoyable film.
There's also the same extra seen at two different stations during the underground scenes.
When Silva is walking down the stairs about to be given the police uniform, an extra with a dark coat, middle aged man with a goatee beard is seen camera left. This is at Temple station.
Later when Silva blends in with the police at Westminster station, and Bond is searching for him amongst the crowd, the same middle aged man with goatee can clearly be seen in the crowd.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
I think that's @barryt007 going to work, he does work somewhere there doesn't he? ;-)
That soon? I think the believability is there for Connery's tenure, and then again with Moore for his first few films. Maxwell was born the same year as Moore after all.
CR: When Bond first meets Mathis, we see a bowl of pistachio nuts on their table.
Perhaps this is a reference to Milos Columbo - with Bond gaining a valued ally?
Looking deeper, perhaps it was a hint that Mathis was indeed innocent, and falsely accused by Bond, before being confirmed in QOS two years later.
