Gloster bomber 1941/42 - Secret Aircraft
The Gloster Bomber was a British proposal during World War 2 taking advantage of the Whittle jet engines then under development. It was very much a scaled up Meteor in concept though with aspects similar to the concurrent German Arado Ar-234 jet bomber. It never left the drawing board and it was left to the Canberra to become the first British jet bomber in 1951. Ironically this aircraft too took much from the Meteor and indeed used that aircraft for pilot conversion.
