This engine is mounted on a replica non-airworthy replica Spitfire, and an auction was held on the Saturday night; the highest bidder getting to start the engine.  I only found out about this when the auction was announced a few minutes before this took place, and there was no time for me to return to my car and grab my tripod and cable release.

Considering this was done hand-held without flash, I was quite pleasantly surprised about how well it came out; a demonstration of the camera's image stabilisation system.
