I saw that article but think it is out of date. It was likely only with BBMF for a short time.

P7832 is recognized as a surviving Spitfire, however there is no publicly available information confirming whether it is currently on display in a museum, part of a private collection, or maintained as an airworthy aircraft.

P7832 is the "Genuine" Enniskillen plane, but the plane in the video is P7350 which belongs to BBMF, and is the oldest flying Spitfire.

From what I can find P7832 was Struck of charge (SOC) 28/06/45 and supposedly scrapped.

This video must be from 1994 as P7350 went for a major overhaul in St Athan Wales and came out wearing this paint scheme around that time. It was the. Repainted 3 years later.

Some lovely old school footage here.  Thank you.

Interestingly, had a friend do work experience at Aldergrove in late 90s, with the RAF - said that they Wessex pilot and co-pilot would exit the cockpit while rotors will still coming to a halt...

According to that article ,Jeffrey Quill took ownership of the Spitfire donating it to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in 1965. So that would contradict it supposedly being scrapped in June 1945.

It`s a mystery Scooby -Doo.
