First Aircraft fitted with Reheat

Got a problem, Somebody has asked me what was the first aircraft fitted with Reheat and I’m not sure of the answer, Would the F-86D be right?

That would be research for the W2-700 for the M52, didn’t think of that. Cheers

Actually, it was for a more immediate problem. It was an attempt to produce more thrust to help combat the V1. By time the flight tests took place the threat had already passed.

The earliest I know of was a Gloster Meteor (EE215) which was fitted with reheat in in November ’44.
