According to Spitfire History and Jeffrey Quill this photo was one of a series taken June 18, 1936 at Eastleigh, after the engine had seized during a press view.

Best Wishes.

Not possible, Robert. At the Press Day K5054 had flush exhausts. The aircraft in this photo has the anti-glare manifolds which were fitted some months later.
