		The Gloster Javelin was an "all-weather" interceptor aircraft that served with Britain's Royal Air Force in the late 1950s and most of the 1960s.
		The Javelin began with a 1947 Air Ministry requirement for a high-performance night fighter that led to orders for prototypes under specification F.44/46 of two of the competing designs, the Gloster GA.5 and the de Havilland DH.110 which was also under consideration for the Royal Navy.
		When it appeared that the Gloster design would be ready sooner and would be simpler and cheaper to build, the de Havilland submission was rejected; though the company was to continue development of the DH.110 as a private venture that eventually resulted in the de Havilland Sea Vixen.

	Gloster
		The Gloster Javelin was an interceptor aircraft that served with Britain's Royal Air Force in the late 1950s and most of the 1960s.
		When it appeared that the Gloster design would be ready sooner and would be simpler and cheaper to build, the de Havilland submission was rejected, (although the company was to continue development as a private venture that eventually resulted in the de Havilland Sea Vixen).
		By the end of 1956, the Javelin was up to a FAW.7 variant, which was the first to actually meet the specifications of the original Air Ministry requirement, and which was to become the definitive version of the aircraft (most of which were later updated to the FAW.9 standard).

	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 centre of gravity on the men's javelin was altered in 1986 to reduce the vast distances that were being thrown.
		For in their succorless emptyhandedness, they, in the heathenish sharked waters, and by the beaches of unrecorded, javelin islands, battled with virgin wonders and terrors that Cooke with all his marines and muskets would not willingly have dared.

	Javelin Training
		The javelin throw is an athletics (track and field) throwing event where the object to be thrown is the javelin, a spear-like object made of metal and fibreglass.
		Javelin throwers gain considerable forward velocity in their run-up to their throws, and as well as strength demonstrate athleticism more similar to running and jumping events.
		Although the javelin is currently used only for sport in most areas, it has a long history of use for hunting and warfare.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Gloster Meteor
		As improved jet fighters began to emerge, Gloster decided to perform a significant redesign of the F.4 to keep it up to date, while retaining as much of the manufacturing tooling of the F 4 as possible.
		Gloster used the T 7 as the base for the NF 11 and the first prototype flew on 31 May 1950.
		Although many Gloster Meteors survive in museums and collections, only five remain airworthy, four in the United Kingdom and a F.8 fighter which was exported to Australia in 2002.

	The Gloster Javelin
		The standard color scheme for the Javelin through its operational life was a disruptive pattern of dark sea green and dark sea gray on top and medium sea gray underneath.
		The "Javelin FAW.5" was an FAW.4 with a new wing that incorporated flexible fuel tanks in the outer wings to counter complaints about the Javelin's poor endurance.
		Javelins continued to serve in Germany until 1966, in Cyprus to 1967, and Singapore until 1968.

	1/48 Gloster Jets by Colin Whitehouse
		This diminutive little “technology demonstrator” was the first allied jet to fly and gave Gloster a boost in the jet era leading to the development of the Meteor Jet fighter.
		It was the first “all weather interceptor” for the RAF as well as the last of the pure gun fighters (Mk5) and the first of the Missile armed jets (Mk 7).
		The Javelin like so many other British Jets of the era was put into service too soon and only really achieved its potential in the later marks.

	Javelin throw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The javelin throw is an athletics (track and field) throwing event where the object to be thrown is the javelin, a spear-like object made of metal, fibreglass and, in some cases, carbon fiber.
		The most noticeable difference with the other events is that rather than a throwing circle as used in discus, shot put and hammer throw, the competitors have a run-up area coated with the same surface used for running tracks, and a painted line on the surface for small spikes on each shoe.
		In 1986, the men's javelin (800 g) was redesigned because of the prodigious distances being thrown culminating in a world record throw of 104.80 m by the then East German thrower, Uwe Hohn.

	Dynavector 1/48 Gloster Javelin
		Being both thick and not at the optimum 60-degree sweep all other deltas would use, the Javelin was irreparably subsonic, even with the extension to the wing leading edge on the outer wing half to decrease the thickness/chord ratio and reduce the onset of buffeting.
		The Javelin was the first British aircraft to seriously suffer from the lack of a domestic supersonic flight development program.
		Hawk released a model of the Javelin in the mid-Fifties, which was done from the initial prototype and was in approximately 1/72 scale - with effort, a first-generation Javelin could be produced from this kit.

		The specification for the prototype Javelin (originally known as the Gloster G.A.5) was issued on 10 June 1948 and called for a speed at an altitude of 40 000' of no less than 565 knots to enable it to intercept a target travelling at 480 knots.
		The fourth Gloster Javelin prototype - WT 830 - was first with full power ailerons and a 7.5:1 boost ratio on the elevators.
		The two seat all weather Gloster Javelin was produced in Fighter marks 1,2,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 as well as a two seat trainer (T Mk3).

	Gloster Javelin
		Gloster submitted two designs it was working on, both of which were similar, sporting delta wings and slightly different attitudes, one for day and for night fighting.
		The Javelin's first prototype was destroyed in an accident which rushed the production of the second prototype so it could be shown to the public in the 1952 Farnborough air show, where it was limited to low-speed manoeuvres because of insufficient flying time to test everything out.
		The Javelin was the first all weather fighter to be developed for the RAF as an all weather fighter (or night fighter) from scratch.

		It was during the Cyprus detachment in 1961 that 25 Squadron lost a Javelin at night over the salt flats north of RAF Akrotari when it collided with a 32 Squadron Canberra.
		The Javelin flew into the rear of the Canberra (Cranberry) while it was reducing airspeed prior to landing.
		Unfortunately the Javelin pilot, Flt Lt Jonny Morris, ejected but his parachute failed to deploy as the aircraft was going downwards.

		The FAW2 and FAW4 introduced improved radar and all-flying tails, and the FAW7 which flew on 30 September 1955 introduced Sapphire engines of greatly increased power.
		The last RAF Gloster Javelin, XH777, was withdrawn from service at RAF Tengah, No.60 Squadron, in April 1968.

		The Gloster GA.5 project began in the late 1940s and was intended to incorporate recent advancements in radar, aerodynamics, and jet engines into a modern all-weather day-night interceptor.
		Unlike most other delta-winged aircraft of the period, the Javelin also incorporated a T-tail with conventional elevator control surfaces to reduce the high angle-of-attack such aircraft typically experience during landing.
		Some 436 Javelin interceptors and trainers were eventually built before the aircraft was withdrawn from service in 1967.

		The rationale behind this was that a manned interceptor was of little use against an IRBM or an ICBM, and that the cash would be better spent having a smaller interceptor force and building Bomber Command to a strength of 23 Squadrons (20 of which were to be Vulcan and Victor units).
		The original plan was that the Javelin was to be largely replaced by the Lightning, with a projected 13 Lightning squadrons to be formed.
		I was always told that the Javelin had an unusual fatigue programme, in which the forward attachment points for the underfuselage tanks would fail, leaving them to drop onto the ground, still attached at the rear.
