But whose is it? I'm due at Goodwood soon to fly in Boutilee's 2 seater.

I saw the video of the wheels up at Sibson (spitfire % replica). Was it under power for the landing? The prop was turning, slowly. I don't know the engine, no doubt modern and perhaps CRU. I wonder at a stationary feathered position to avoid shock loading the engine as the prop coughs a furrow. I n this case the blades snapped of PDQ.
