Description

The Gloster Aircraft Company produced 126 Meteor FR.9s modifying the existing Meteor F.8 design by fitting cameras in the nose alongside the guns to produce a very effective armed reconnaissance aircraft. Used by the Royal Air Force during the 1950s in both West Germany and in Egypt to monitor the Suez Canal, the Meteor was eventually replaced in RAF service by the Supermarine Swift. Meteor FR.9s were also sold to Ecuador, Israel and Syria.

Models & Model Kits are supplied unpainted and unassembled unless otherwise noted.
