This photograph showcases the first true prototype of the Gloster Meteor NF11, WA546, a groundbreaking development in the realm of jet-powered aircraft. The Meteor NF11 was a variant of the legendary Gloster Meteor, which was the world's first operational jet fighter. This particular prototype, WA546, marked a significant milestone in the evolution of the Meteor series as it was the first to be fitted with the Armstrong Siddeley N.11 engine, which greatly enhanced the aircraft's performance. The Meteor NF11 was designed primarily as a night fighter, equipped with advanced radar and weapon systems. Its sleek and aerodynamic design, featuring a pointed nose and wingtip shape, made it a formidable presence in the skies. The aircraft's innovative features, such as its ejection seat and retractable landing gear, were pioneering at the time and set the standard for future jet-powered aircraft designs. This photograph captures the Meteor NF11, WA546, in its prime, standing proudly on the tarmac against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The aircraft's gleaming metal surface reflects the sunlight, highlighting every curve and contour of its streamlined body. The engine exhausts emit a plume of smoke, a testament to the power and efficiency of the N.11 engine. The overall effect is one of raw power and sophistication, a fitting tribute to this iconic aircraft and its groundbreaking role in the history of aviation.
