The Gloster Meteor was a groundbreaking aircraft – as the first British jet, it entered frontline service. The Mk.9 was a developmental version, with its prototype flown in 1950. This aircraft was used not only by Great Britain but also by the air forces of Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Egypt, and others.
