Does anyone know what cameras were carried by the Meteor FR.9?….and have any photos they would be willing to share for a current project. Thanks.

Thanks Anon; but this is strictly a writing project!
And thanks davecurnock for a good starting point. The Vinten F.24 was originally fitted to the FR.9 and since your reply I’ve subsequently found out that it was replaced by the Vinten F.95 Framing camera, which proved a great success and later went on to be used in the Swift FR.5 and the Hunter FR.10
Anyone who’s got anything to add to the FR.9 story please post, including photos.

Meteor Fr.Mk.9
Lindoug,
If you need an FR.9 nose cone (nice nick, with camera ports etc.), there is one one my Meteor Mk.8 until such time as the correct one comes along???

Believe it was an F24 – don’t know the focal length(s) used.
