Can anyone tell me in which books 008 and 0011 appear and what happens to them?

    They're first mentioned in MR when it's revealed that 007 is the senior officer in the OO Section.

    In MR, Loelia Ponsonby tells Bond that 008's been moved to a military hospital in Berlin after his last mission and is about to fly back to the UK. He's mentioned again in GF when Bond imagines that he will probably be replaced by 008 if he dies and that he's "more careful" than Bond.

    0011 is only mentioned in MR when Bond reflects that he went missing in Singapore two months earlier and nothing has been heard of him since.

    It's also mentioned in OHMSS (just reading it now) that 006 is an ex-Royal Marine Commando.

    I think that's in Goldfinger, you're right.

    That's right, thanks for the reminders.

    And the same secretary. It's like carpooling, but this time with a secretary.

    Yes, 009 is the temporary head of the Double-O Section in Fleming's Thunderball (1961).
