Description
English: Gloster Meteor Mk Is of No. 616 Squadron RAF at Manston, Kent, 4 January 1945.

Gloster Meteor Is of No 616 Squadron at Manston, 4 January 1945. The Allies' first operational turbo-jet aircraft, the Meteor entered service with No 616 in July 1944, being employed against the V-1s. Despite its revolutionary power-plant (two 1,700lb-thrust Rolls-Royce Welland engines), the Meteor I's top speed of 410mph was below that of the Tempest or Spitfire XIV.
