Yes looked like that to me.

 

The "missile so secret", in fact did have a name - Malkara

 

Hmm & Thunderbird I have a radar target simulator trailer for that in the garden, part of Yellow River

It looks similar but isn't actually Phil, my avatar is of Orange William, the British ATGW with 3 x the range of the "secret missile" in the film. Probably OW was even more secret than that.
