About the Gloster Meteor FR.9:

As the armed reconnaissance version of Britain's first operational jet fighter, the Gloster Meteor FR.9 was based on the F.8 fighter version of the aircraft and replaced Spitfires and Mosquitos in this role. The extended nose housed a Williamson F.24 camera, which could be positioned to fire either forward, port, or starboard facing. Its range was extended significantly by the addition of external wing and ventral fuel tanks, allowing it to conduct deep reconnaissance missions over enemy territory. The FR.9 served with distinction during the Cold War, providing vital photographic intelligence for NATO forces. Its combination of jet speed, camera equipment, and defensive armament made it an effective reconnaissance platform during the 1950s.
