All three photographers state that this four engine version was a mock up made for a film.

Love it! Hey, if Gloster Aircraft Ltd. ever had gotten around to a four engined turbojet transport......well.....there you have it!
They already had the Meteor. Perhaps this would have been the Gloster Meteoroid or the Gloster Meteorite?
