Long Description:
The jet now stands on a pedestal overlooking Fairy Lake in Acton. It is placed beside a local park, on the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #197 property.

The Silver Star is also known as the T-Bird. It is the longest serving aircraft model in the Canadian Armed Forces. These were withdrawn from service in 2005.

From a web source I found the following information: Manufacturer and Model: Canadair (Lockhead) T-133 Silver Star, Serial No. 23103
Source Link: (visit link)

The tail number has been repainted, and now reads "197" which is the branch number of the nearby Legion.
