NEW ALL-WEATHER JET FIGHTER... The Royal Air Force is to be equipped with the new Gloster GA 5 all-weather twin-jet fighter, and it is to be given "super priority" in production. The twin-engined Gloster GA 5 is the first British operational delta-winged aircraft. Its speed, range, radar equipment, rate of climb and fire power are still secret, but it is known to be better qualified than any other aircraft in the world to destroy atom bombers from any country that might declare itself the enemy of the free world. This picture shows the Gloster GA 5 in an almost vertical climb.
