The Gloster Javelin is a legendary British interceptor fighter from the Cold War era. It was used by the Royal Air Force (United Kingdom) from the 1950s up until the early 1960s. The Javelin went down in history as the first British jet fighter with swept wings and a radar-guided system, capable of all-weather operations. This aircraft was widely employed by the RAF to protect the airspace of Great Britain and overseas bases during the tense years of the Cold War.
