Came across this in the local media:

I know Richard Lake has a couple based there; a MKI and a Mk XVI, does anybody have any more info?

It was only believed to be a small fire on start up with Spitfire G-BUOS (SM845) at 17:09, and it flew afterwards.

G-BUOS (SM845) Spitfire. dept 14:48 to East Kirkby for display/arr back 15:26.

G-OXVI (TD248) Spitfire and G-BUOS (SM845) request start up 17:09/ problem with G-BUOS, fire vehicle laid a foam blanket.
G-OXVI (TD248) Spitfire. dept 18:07/arr back 18:39.
