Gloster Meteor Mk. 8 - Mk. 7 combination G-ANSO
Gloster Meteor Mk.8 - Mk.7 combination (ex GAF) G-ANSO, at the 1954 SBAC Farnborough air-show. Built as an F Mk.8 airframe with strengthened outer wings, the Ground Attack Fighter (GAF) aka Reaper, was first flown, as G-AMCJ, on 4 September 1950 at Moreton Valence by Jim Cooksey, appearing at the 1950 SBAC Farnborough air-show very soon afterwards. Extensive flying and weapons firing trials failed to secure an order so ACMJ had the forward fuselage replaced with that of a Meteor T Mk.7 in 1954 and registered as G-ANSO, retaining the strengthened wings and wing-tip fuel tanks of the GAF. G-ANSO was modified again in 1959, with a T Mk.7 rear fuselage and outer wings, for Svensk Flygtjanst AB (Swedair Ltd), as SE-DCC. Date: 1954
