And a bit later the Allies first jet fighter, the Gloster Meteor, was used for V1 removal, but apparently using guns.
The Meteor was initially used to counter the V-1 flying bomb threat. 616 Squadron Meteors saw action for the first time on 27 July 1944, when three aircraft were active over Kent. These were the first operational jet combat missions for the Meteor and for the Royal Air Force. After some problems, especially with jamming guns, the first two V1 “kills” were made on 4 August. By war’s end, Meteors had accounted for 14 flying bombs.
Yes, the great Typhoon too.
The airplane depicted is a Spitfire as can be seen by the elliptical wing planform.
British aviation USED to be great. As a kid I used to love watching the Avro Vulcan bomber do its stuff at Davis-Monthan during the airshows.
Then the Labour governments managed to push them off a cliff.
