The Gloster F.5/34 (Guardian) was a British fighter of the 1930s. It was a single-seat, single-engine monoplane of all-metal cantilever construction; the undercarriage was of the tailwheel type with retractable main wheels. The aircraft was developed for Air Ministry Specification F.5/34, a fighter armed with eight machine guns and an air-cooled engine that was well-suited to operations in the tropics. The Gloster design was overtaken by more capable competitors, like the Hurricane and Spitfire and the specification was later abandoned, with none of the aircraft designs produced for it selected for entry into service.
