The Gloster Javelin FAW 9/9R was a British interceptor developed during the Cold War era, serving as a pillar of the United Kingdom's air defense in the 1950s and 1960s. The aircraft was used primarily by the Royal Air Force (RAF) for patrol, night interception missions, and bomber interception. It was in service from 1956 to 1968, taking part in operations over Malaya (the Malayan-Indonesian conflict), among others.
