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.

This is presumably Tenerife in 1953 according to the Norwegian source. The Dakota is ex 42-93461, KG616, G-AJAY. To T.3-67 in the Spanish air force. Its fate is uncertain - according to some researchers, this one may have become ECT-025 which took off for Germany on 3 October 1980 and disappeared without trace. Photo from: Norsk Folkemuseum
