VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring the Gloster Meteor, which was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' only operational jet aircraft during World War II. The caption "fastest aeroplane in service today" highlights its status as a cutting-edge aviation technology at the time of its service introduction. The image shows the twin-engine Meteor in flight, with its distinctive roundel markings visible on the wings and fuselage, indicating it as part of the Royal Air Force (RAF). Below the image, additional text states "Gloster METEOR" with a mention of "Rolls Royce Derwent Engines, " signifying that this aircraft was powered by engines from one of the most prestigious engine manufacturers. Finally, there's an attribution to "GLOSTER AIRCRAFT (BRANCH OF HAWKER SIDDELEY AIRCRAFT CO. , LTD), " identifying Gloster Aircraft Company's corporate affiliation with Hawker Siddeley at that time.
