Photo Comment

A Gloster Meteor F.Mk.8 was modified by Gloster as a private venture into the Ground Attack Fighter also know as the Reaper (G-7-1). The modification allowed for the carriage of external Rocket-Assisted Take-Off Gear (RATOG), an added 57mm cannon in the lower fuselage and tip tanks. First flown 4 September 1950, only one was built.
