Hello Gerard,
this is the very first time I come in the historical part of the forum. I followed the link placed in the "world roundels".
Nice job from you and your friend in order to put colors on black and white images.
I came here only to take a look but I will come back more often.
Keep on going....

USS Wolverine (IX-64) was built as the Great Lakes side-wheel steamer Seeandbee launched 9 November 1912 that was converted into a freshwater aircraft carrier of the United States Navy in 1942 for advanced training of naval aviators in carrier take-offs and landings. The Navy decommissioned Wolverine in 1945 and sold her for scrap in 1947.

Are those guys supporting the Spit's wings on their back?
The undercarrage isn't sitting right to my eyes.
(And I have noticed the bashed prop.)
Yes. Man handling older aircraft is a regular thing. I've done it quite a lot on my time on BBMF. I'd suppose the Spit had a gear collapse on landing and they're getting it locked down.
