PRU Spitfire I identity?

Any ideas from the congnoscenti on the identity of the PRU Spitfire I shown in this link from E-Bay? Its on the 4-10 E-bay photo listings from Ed West.

As you can see from the pictures, the Spitfire I is intact and looks flightworthy. The "LY" code is very visible, with Luftwaffe personnel standing in front.

I just noted that I had misspelled the name of the pilot. The correct name is Peter Tomlinson.

Kind regards,
Hendrik
