Hawker Tempest II, PR668, being run-up for flight. The fitter is climbing out of the cockpit, having started the engine by means of Coffman cartridge. The scruffy condition of the paintwork is due to the original grey and green camouflage showing through the silver dope where fitters have climbed about the aircraft. The photograph was taken from the cockpit of a Dakota, and another Mk IV can be seen in the background.
