The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' only jet aircraft to achieve combat operations during the Second World War. The Meteor's development was heavily reliant on its ground-breaking turbojet engines, pioneered by Sir Frank Whittle and his company, Power Jets Ltd. The Meteor first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with No. 616 Squadron RAF.
The de Havilland Vampire is a British jet fighter developed and manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. It was the second jet fighter to be operated by the RAF, after the Gloster Meteor, and the first to be powered by a single jet engine.
This image was an attempt to recreate a scene from an RAF base during the early stages of the cold war in the 1950s, the photograph was captured using dedicated reenactors at an event organised by timeline events at Coventry Airport. Sadly the Gloster Meteor is no longer in the UK but can still be seen in the air in the United States.
