Canadair T33 21435 in the markings of 414 Squadron's aerobatic Red Knight.
This is one of 656 T33's built under licence by Canadair of Montreal during the 1950's and 60's. It retains its pre-unification serial number of 21435. Records indicate it was given new s/n 133435, though there is no evidence it was ever marked as such.
There is no confirmation that this aircraft ever served as a Red Knight. There are some incongruities with the markings as well. The stylized maple leaf roundel was never used with the new Canadian flag marking on the tail.
The aircraft is located in the airpark of the National Air Force Museum of Canada on RCAF Road in Trenton.
