Woohoo, Im the first
Hmm, tough one....B-47?
-
My guess: Grumman F9F
-
Tough one. Early jet imo. Four horizontal, nose mounted weapons (big openings so I would suspect cannon)
And the thing on the chin (radome?) rules out Gloster jets.
Looks like an "E" on the starboard side too. Been looking for USA ForcE jets and been striking out. The closest I found is the B-57 Canberra but I cannot find a pic of one with the quad hispano gun package.

I'm waiting for someone to take a picture of a rivet and then
ask what type it is ;)
-
I think Casca has it right. But Cougar or Panther? It obviously has some kind of radar radome under the nose.

Cougar. F9F-8

WTG.
The decal on the lower edge of the "6" (from the starboard "126") made me think it was the letter "E."
-
If you flip the image you see that what looks like a funky E is actually a 3.
All the best.

I think the nose is too blunt to be an F9F, plus there don't seem to be intakes at the wing roots. So it's obviously a multi-engine job. I'm betting on some sort of Canberra.

F9F-6 Cougar!

This is a Grumman F9F-7, delivered in 1953.
