Mach 2 cruise? 6 weapons stations, little thin there, Take off/landing seem a little short w/o help. The artist drawing shows a pretty airplane though.

"You must think in Received Pronunciation."
So "Fiah reah missail"
Side note: I had an teacher in English for a couple of years (lovely lady) who was from Edinburgh. She’d insist that she spoke ”the Queen’s English”, which seemingly to her meant that she just didn’t use any Scots words with us students. However I am somewhat sceptical that her pronounciation of the words she did use would be taken as ”Queen’s English” outside of Scotland, so to speak. (Second side note: For a while and as a result I did get pretty good at mimicking a Scottish accent.)

My wife spent a little time in Ireland, the result of which is that every now and again, even though this was decades ago mind, an Irish twang in her accent happens.
Occasionally, just to annoy her, I put on the accent and she slips into some sort of parody of an Irish accent without realising it.
