  We report on VLBA astrometry and CXO imaging of PSR J0538+2817 in the
supernova remnant S147. We measure a parallax distance of
$1.47^{+0.42}_{-0.27}$kpc along with a high-precision proper motion, giving a
transverse velocity $V_\perp=400^{+114}_{-73}$km/s. A small extended wind
nebula is detected around the pulsar; the symmetry axis of this structure
suggests that the spin axis lies $12\arcdeg\pm4\arcdeg$ from the velocity
vector (2-D), but the emission is too faint for robust model independent
statements. The neutron star is hot, consistent with the young ~40kyr kinematic
age. The pulsar progenitor is likely a runaway from a nearby cluster, with NGC
1960 (M36) a leading candidate.
