  The Gloster Meteor
Gloster took an F.4 on a sales tour in 1947, painted red with white detailing.
Evaluation of the stretched fuselage in the initial prototype gave positive results, except that as ammunition was expended the aircraft became tail-heavy and unstable around the pitch axis.
The proposal was accepted under the specification "F.24/48", but Gloster, having brought up the suggestion, was forced to admit that the company didn't have the resources to produce the machine.

The airframe of the E.28/39 was built by the Gloster aircraft company and proved the turbojet concept which had been under development by Frank Whittle and his company since 1936.
The E.28/39 was the forebear of the Gloster Meteor, which, unlike the experimental Gloster-Whittle, saw active service during the Second World War against the V-1 flying bombs.
These two planes were the direct forerunners of the Gloster Meteor, prototypes of which were tested in two new wind tunnels opened at Farnborough in 1942 and 1943 specifically for the new jet aircraft.

 GLOSTER JAVELIN - HISTORY
Gloster were not overjoyed at this; two prototypes were going to make slow going if the aircraft was chosen for service, and in 1951 a change of thinking at the Air Ministry finally persuaded them to order three more GA.5s.
Gloster's official position was that this was an accident, but it was widely believed to be a demonstration that the aircraft could go supersonic - much press criticism, including from Bill Waterton (who had quit Gloster and was now a newspaper correspondent), had said it could not.
Gloster spent the years between this point and their absorption by BAC desperately trying to get back into the game, but never succeeded, and the Javelin was the final production type that Gloster produced.

The crest factor has been proved a dominant factor and the Gloster corona is able to pass it on to 50% of its off-spring whether the pairing consists of a corona male x consort female, or a corona female x a consort male.
Because only 50% of the offspring show the crest manifestation we are able to recognize that although the crest factor is dominant over the plainhead factor, the corona is heterozygous for crest so that even when two coronas are paired together, plainhead offspring are produced.
The Gloster consort is a homozygous canary for the plainhead factor and is true breeding, producing consort genes only.

 Gloster Meteor Jet Fighter / Bomber - Military and Civilian Aircraft
The Gloster Meteor series was the first true jet-powered operational aircraft for the Royal Air Force.
The ejection seat began to fit an important role in aircraft design and engineering at this time, as the excessive speeds capable of jet-powered flight necessitated the need to remove the pilot from the dangers of his falling and damaged craft as quickly and as safely as possible.
The Gloster Meteor would go on to see combat in the skies during the Korean conflict of the early 1950's, albeit in service with the Royal Australian Air Force.

When we review this standard of perfection for the Gloster Fancy Canary, let’s pay particular attention to the fact that it is the exact same standard from Great Britain used over 25 years ago.
When I started with Glosters over 30 years ago, my quest was to raise a bird with more type and overall roundness with more of a voluminous and well-centered, unbroken crest, regardless of what the standard called for except for one caveat.
Some are under the assumption that it means that the Gloster should have the tendency to look small when taking all other aspects of the head, body and tail into consideration.
