Mystery help required

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

Anyone able to confirm that

Cheers and thanks.

I don't think so Glenn. I flew one of the Navy's versions way back in
1959 and in this photo, I don't see the two side intakes for the engine
air.

T-33,
heres a shot of its predecessor, the P-80, except for the two large holes
in the lower frames, the placement of the airtank against the bulkhead,
and the cutouts for the engine on the rear frame for engine clearance,
appears the same. you can even see the twin air inlets for the engine if
you look close in both photos.

Yup, T-33--- one can see the split air intakes, although it's pretty
dark in the picture. I've served my time kneeling on those stringers and
longerons, those loose cushions and cardboard boxes lying in there serve a
good purpose. (no, not for sleeping when Chief is away!)
Note: the large rectangular opening on the top of the fuselage is also
an engine air inlet. two spring loaded doors are sucked open during high RPM
ground operations when there is insufficient ram air coming through the
fuselage ducts.

(OK, I'm not sure about F-80, F-94 or TO-2/TV-2/T-1A/T2V-1)

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?

May not even be a US T-33, could be a Canadian built, hard to tell with
the serial ,
From what I have read the US used the J-33-A

Nene 10 perhaps ?
I'm not an engine expert , not even a T-33 expert
really not even an expert, at all in anything..
