Thank you for the engine information Peter.

My pleasure. It pre-empts questions about odd-looking bits on aircraft.

Taken from Bryan Philpott's Meteor (PSL) and Edward Shacklady's Gloster
Meteor (Macdonald Aircraft Monograph). The number of trial installations
of engines, weapons and systems on Meteors is astonishing, and both
books contain a wealth of information.
