Wiki is quoting all official figures which is fine if that's what you want. The low-level speed is probably in clean condition at max power and could be sustained for about 35 sec before running out of gas. The high-altitude speed is also clean, and on a cold day to boot. I have heard it suggested that by the end of the Thud's career the aircraft were too knackered and modified to go supersonic at all.
