Historically positioned as Britain's first jet-powered fighter to enter service, the Gloster Meteor played a significant role in the air defence of the nation for well over a decade, with the redesigned F.8 becoming the definitive and most heavily produced variant. It was further developed into the armed reconnaissance FR.9, Meteors which served mainly overseas.
