The Gloster Gladiator was a type of aircraft flown on Earth in the 20th century. It was a British biplane fighter used in combat during World War II, including the Battle of Britain.
History[]
During the 1940s, a Gloster Gladiator was stolen by the Collector for his vehicle museum on Beton III. His usual method of acquiring vehicles was to steal them with the use of a flying saucer while in active use, as he did with a B-36 Peacemaker aircraft in September 1972, a strategic hovercraft in 1984, and an Earth G-50X rocket plane in the 2260s.
In the 2260s, this aircraft continued to be exhibited, along with many other 20th century British aircraft in one of the main halls. The museum also housed three flight-ready Supermarine Spitfire fighters, an Avro Lancaster bomber, and a fully operational Vickers Wellington bomber. The Gladiator was likely destroyed when that wing of the museum was caught in an errant rocket blast. (TOS comic: "The Collector")
