GLOSTER METEOR FR.9
“THE FR.9 WAS INTENDED TO REPLACE THE SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE FR.18, AS THE RAF MOVED TOWARDS AN ALL-JET FRONT LINE”
CRAMPED COCKPIT
The cockpit of the Meteor was cramped and crowded. Ejecting could be hazardous, with lots of ways to get cut or even break bones.
NOSE SECTION
The only major design change in the FR.9 was the camera compartment, with multiple windows for aiming the equipment.
