The Meteor F.8 saw service in a number of conflicts, including the Korean War, where it was used primarily for ground attack missions.
It was also used by other countries, including Argentina, Belgium, and Israel.
The aircraft was eventually replaced by newer jet fighters, but it remained in service with some air forces into the 1980s.
Overall, the Gloster Meteor F.8 was an important aircraft in the early days of jet aviation and played a key role in the development of jet technology.
