FSX Gloster Meteor WL265

Gloster Meteor FR.9 WL265 brings a historically grounded 1956 No. 79 Squadron RAF scheme from RAF Gütersloh to the classic British jet, with crisp markings that suit screenshots and period-focused flying. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration, it requires Rob Richardson’s Gloster Meteor FR9 base aircraft and includes matching identifiers for authentic callsigns.
