Indeed, the collapse must have been very low speed. Apparently an engine inspection revealed no problems and other damage was very minor/cosmetic; it was fitted with a replacement prop and ferried to Duxford for further attention by ARCO just a few days later.

Interesting point made elsewhere; Spitfire undercarriage collapses/problems always seem to be the two-seaters.
