Hi Martin--

Well...I know where the back end of 133512 is, anyway! The Brantford part is certainly correct for the aft end at least: this was Jack Arnold's composite T-33 airframe that he had mounted on a short pylon beside his driveway on Cockshutt Road in the early 1980s. The front end of the airframe was 133373. Along with Jack's static Harvard II (2605) and Percival Proctor 6 remains (CF-EHF), the T-bird was acquired by Allan Rubin's International Vintage Aircraft and refurbished at Mt.Hope (very nicely, too) in Red Knight livery, with the front end's old RCAF serial 21373, for display on a pylon in Mississauga. More recently '373 moved again, and was refinished a second time (still as the Red Knight) for pylon display in a park in Fort Erie, next to the Railway Museum.

I don't, though, know whether Jack had the rest of '512 squirreled away somewhere...anyone?
