Ah, so that's which aircraft it is! I've been working from a list that carries both -- presumably someone read the serial off the back part at some point, rather than the front. Another mystery solved. (WIX is good for that!)

Steve, much appreciated as always. We must meet in person some time.

: Hi Martin--

: Well...I know where the back end of 133512 is, anyway! T

: least: this was Jack Arnold's composite T-33 airframe that
: he had mounted on a short pylon beside his driveway on Co
: ckshutt Road in the early 1980s. The front end of the airf
: rame was 133373. Along with Jack's static Harvard II (2605

: acquired by Allan Rubin's International Vintage Aircraft a
: nd refurbished at Mt.Hope (very nicely, too) in Red Knight
: livery, with the front end's old RCAF serial 21373, for d
