Corrected entry: Near the start where Bond is trying to evade the missile in his mini jet plane, the sound becomes the distinctive discordant scream of a diving propeller driven plane (think World War II dive bomber), rather than the whistle of a jet engine it should have.

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, Koskov is being sent down the pipeline in the "pig". After he's been sent, and the pipeline rumbles, there is an elevated piece of pipeline that the agent looks up at - with a bend in it. The "pig" is a longish cylinder that surely cannot go around bends.
Correction: There are no right-angle bends in the pipe; all of the bends are gradual curves. The pig is designed to negotiate the curves in the pipe.
The pipe has a very sharp, ninety-degree bend just before Koskov's arrival (see 00:19:55, Blu-ray). No pig of that length could possibly go around it.

Correction: The "distinctive discordant scream" is the airflow over the wings, not the sound of the engine. Some low-speed jets make this sound, and the Arco Starjet Bond is flying is one of them.
Specifically, the mistake is likely referring to the moment where Bond starts to dive towards the hangar. Here we do indeed hear the distinctive, and oft-used, stock sound of a propeller-driven Stuka dive bomber from World War II. Several other Bond movies use it as well.
