Gloster Meteor T.7A/T.7½ (Mulet) |
In order to improve longitudinal stability, the Belgian company Sabca modified a number of Meteor T.7' to a standard unique to Belgium, the T.7A or T.7½ Mulet. This was obtained by fitting a Meteor F.8 tail-assembly to the forward fuselage of the T.7. Information exists on 6 conversions but this is not confirmed. Several of these Mulets were sold to the Israeli Air Force in the late fifties, and some can still be seen displayed at the Israel Air Force Museum at Hatzerim. ED28 is pictured at Gosselies on 290157 after suffering an undercarriage failure during tests prior to delivery as T.7A.
