Corrected entry: In the scene aboard the Navy vessel where Bond is given a burial at sea, the wrapping around his supposedly dead body is bright white, but after he is dumped into the ocean, picked up by the divers and brought aboard the submarine, the wrapping is now tan. (00:09:35 - 00:11:30)

Corrected entry: Inside the sub when Bond is talking with "M", he is handed the address of where he is to go on a small slip of paper, and after looking at it he burns it using his lighter. The paper almost immediately burns up as he holds it (normal paper would burn more slowly), which means that it must have been made of a material that burns faster (as you can tell by the red glare the flames give off). (00:13:10)
Correction: So MI6 uses special paper that is easily destroyed when handing over confidential information. It is a good way to ensure that an enemy agent cannot reconstruct the info from the ashes, and a good way to destroy the secret info in a hurry. This isn't a mistake, it is the point of that scene.
Correction: It is wet. It has now darkened from the water like most material when they are damp.
