    WK991 is Gloster Meteor F8 single seat fighter built in July 1953. The F8 was a great improvement on the F4 having a longer fuselage, greater fuel capacity and a standard ejection seat. It was a prolific frontline fighter in RAF squadron service, 1950–54. WK991 was used as a target towing aircraft for many years of its service.
