T-33

You know, the engine sitting behind this aircraft looks much like a
Rolls Royce Nene. I thought I knew everything, but now I'm not so sure.
Did any US T-33's use the Rolls Royce?

As with many of the early "American" jet engines, they were actually of
British origin.

I took this at Chino, August 2008. I think it's a T-33 from memory.

Anyone able to confirm that

Cheers and thanks.

Possibly the Canadian version of T-33 as they us a different manufacture
of engines. The T-33 uses an Allison which is simular in that it is a
centrifical engine except the cans are diffirent as well as other
appearences of the engine

A fact demonstrated impressively at an air show a few years back as I
heard a T-33 and a MiG-15 start up within a minute of each other -
almost identical sound!

I am little surprised with all the T-33's and F-86's in private hands, that
no one has resurrected a P/F-80 to flying status. I think that some
countries had them in front line service as late the 1970's. You would
think that there would be some airframes around somewhere available. Any
comments?
