Target drone? Flying, guided bomb?

It's a target drone, quite fascinating. I'm curious as it has a ventral
skid, as if it could be used to land on - but the prop clearance, even when
stopped, wouldn't prevent damage on landing.

It was a target drone. Here is a series of pictures of the ptototype P0
during test trials at sea in 1960.
Here is the first

Thanks Fabio

Interesting design. from the pics you've posted
and the others found elsewhere, your pic is the
only Meteor with a rocket-assist pack. I saw a
pic with a steam catapult, and what appeared to
be some high tension spring system. As noted by
another poster, some of them had props to big for
the skid position. This pic with the RATO looks
just about right for recovery without *too much*
damage.
