building a spitfire in the garage

Interesting article about a lady building a Spitfire in her garage off original blue prints over at the Beeb:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/l...re/4646888.stm

There's also a thread going over at "Aviation History and Nostalgia", but not sure if that was the right place to ask:

Would she eventually be able to fly this, assuming she's a pilot of course? I guess Permit to Fly would be the only option. And what sort of power plant could be used?

And most importantly, where can I get my hands on a set of blue prints ?
