Gloster Meteor F Mk.6

It would have features Rolls Royce Derwent 7 engines carried in long engine nacelles, with the Mk.4 short span wings and the high tail designed for the Gloster E.1/44 single engined fighter. Work on the Mk.6 was abandoned in favour of the Mk.8, the final and best day fighter version of the Meteor.
