In the context of "shoot first, then ask the questions" I highly recommend always trying Google first. I did a search on: mosquito "new zealand" ZK-BCT - and hey presto found this (first site offered) ...
http://www.adf-serials.com/nz-serials/nz2301.shtml
It says ...
NZ2381 FB.VI
Built at Hatfield and delivered sometime between 16 May 1944 and 19 June 1945. Previously PZ413. Ferried from the United Kingdom by an RAF/RNZAF crew and BOC Ohakea on 25 March 1948. Ferried to Taieri for storage shortly after arrival. Declared surplus on SR.4103 dated 17 July 1953 and sold to Aircraft Supplies Ltd, Palmerston North. Entered the New Zealand Civil Aircraft Register as ZK-BCT on 02 September 1953. Cancelled from register in May 1957 and scrapped at Palmerston North. Some remnants remained in the area until the late 1970s.
cheers ;)

Yes, I know its not all in, but it was so bloody close!...RR299 at the Shuttleworth Pageant 1995....was I alone at getting concerned at just how energetically it was displayed in its later years?

First photo in the thread is the incomplete prototype E0234/W4050 at Hatfield, having been reassembled after journeying from Salisbury Hall. Note that the undercarriage doors are still missing in this shot.

The aircraft IS painted yellow, but this was taken on orthochromatic film, and so looks black.

The aircraft survives to this day, and is cared for by us at the Mosquito Museum. It is currently undergoing a rather slow, but detailed restoration.

Hi Guys,

Not your photos, Moondance, but on the original post by Stormbird. 2 of them are mine, but who cares, just good to see Mossies!!! I add any new Mosquito pics to my CD (so you can guess where all the above photos are now). I have one or two Mossie photos. However, there never seems to be much responce when I post Mosquito Photos so I don't bother any longer.

Stormbird, how can I take you seriously when you think a Spitfire is better looking than a Mosquito (I guess we should send you to SpecSavers). However, I always like a bit of a challenge & if you send me your address I'll mail you a copy of my CD. I think there will be enough Mossie stuff to keep you quite for a day or 2.

TTFN,
Neilly

ps Dave, not forgotten, your CD will be in post later in the week.
