The grand bend t33 has a tail from a grumman banshee. It still has the ghost image of the royal canadian navy titling on the skin near the tailpipe.
I remember reading something here that the tail wasn't quite right. I did manage to find it, although many of the locals didn't know about it, even when I showed them the picture of the net. I took a few close-ups of the tail and will eventually post them on Webshots.

The sabre is in terrible shape and pretty much useless for anything other than the skip. It has a canopy from a t33 due to the original one being destroyed in the fire at a wharehouse where she was stored. She was roughly put back together and with alot of fiberglass filler was placed on the post.
Thanks for the tips. I'll have to take a look for it when I am in the area next summer. Approximately where in Sarnia is that park?
BTW... I did manage to find the Silver Star in Acton. It is at the local Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 197. When heading west through town on Hwy 7 and you get to the lights where you need to go right to follow 7, don't turn but rather go straight. You will pass a flower mill on the left, then start looking for sign for the legion on the right (it isn't far). When you see the sign turn right and you will find the Legion at then end of that street. The Silver Star is pole mounted on the other side of the Legion building.
Regards,
Mike
