Two more photos that I've come across of "Mac" Baigent while he was at 75 Squadron flying Mosquitos: F/L Tom “Mac” Morgan and S/L C.H. “Mac” Baigent, at the Royal New Zealand Aero Club pageant in Dunedin, 21 February 1948. The two Macs led a four-ship RNZAF Mosquito display team that day in Mosquito NZ2321. - Whites Aviation photo, Alexander Turnbull Library, WA-12148-F. Royal New Zealand Aero Club RAC Pageant, Mangere, 20 March 1949. Three of the nine RNZAF Mosquito crews that displayed that day, L-R: Flying Officers Scott and Macnamara, S/L C.H. "Mac" Baigent, Flight Lieutenant "Mac" Morgan and Flying Officers Horton and Hanson. - Whites Aviation photo, Alexander Turnbull Library, WA-19747-G.

Bob Scott is the pilot that flew NZ2384 from storage in Taieri to Milson where it became ZK-BCV, and then N9909F. It is now flying with Rod Lewis, having been restored in Auckland.

Never noticed the anti-glare going down the front of the nose before.....wonder if it was a one off.

Quick look back through this thread (which sadly some photos you cant see now......thanks Photoshop) and NZ2323 seems to be the one with this anti-glare style.

Quick look back through this thread (which sadly some photos you cant see now......thanks Photoshop) I just went back through the thread and found only two posts that are missing their photos, and I noted the ones still showing no longer have the Photobucket watermark all over them. Is everyone else seeing the same thing, i.e. all the photos that were not deleted by account owners without any watermarks? Photobucket seems to keep changing their policies...

Quick look back through this thread (which sadly some photos you cant see now......thanks Photoshop) Photobucket watermark all over them. I went back to Page One just now on my phone (using Chrome) and the photos on that page are there. However yesterday on my PC (also Chrome) they were watermarked. I do recall Chrome updating on my PC last week so may have upset or deleted the extension I had to make photobucket show (most) the photos. I'll look into that when I get home.

Hmm interesting. For me it is only recently that their stupid watermarks vanished.

I see something different: the photos are there but very blurry, with a crystal-clear Photobucket watermark.

I see the photos all nice and clear in the thread, but if I try to save the photos Photobucket makes them blurry and adds their huge watermark. Maddening.

Interesting - I just had a look back through the thread and some are clear, while others are still blurred with the watermark.

The clear ones will be ones not hosted by Photobucket I guess.

Yep - seems that way. Would be great to have a central depository for all the forum images.

At least two of them then, as the one in the pics above is 2326 (going by the underwing serial). Edit: Out of curiosity I went through my RNZAF Mossie stash, and while a lot of the pics are indistinct I think I can see it on -22, -23, -26 and -37, but there are pics of most of them without it, so it must have been a bit of a fad.
