BTW there was a Meteor F.6 on the drawing board at Gloster's in early 1946 but, in appearance, it was essentially an F.8 and did not have swept-wings.

Gloster Meteor F.Mk.V - No.74 Squadron, RAF Fighter Command, 1946 With a forecast shortage of Rolls-Royce Derwent jet engines the designers at Gloster's quickly introduced the Meteor F.Mk.V an interim design powered by two Bristol Centaurus 18-cylinder, air-cooled, two-row radial engine each enclosed in an extremely neat installation and utilising direct fuel injection to produce 2,750 h.p. per engine. Entering service with No.74 Squadron in the Spring of 1946 the Meteor F.Mk.V was used to combat the 'tip and run' attacks by Luftwaffe Blohm & Voss P 170 fast bombers in the Summer of 1946 before being transferred to RAF South-East Asia Command as part of 'Tiger Force'.

I'm fully aware of the Trent Meteor thank you! As an aviation mad teenager in the 1970's our local library had just two aircraft books that I took out repeatedly, 'The Gloster Meteor' by Edward Shacklady and 'Gloster Aircraft Since 1917' by Derek James (aka the Putnam book).
