This is an aircraft that was going to have an airbrake to assist it in slowing down to attack because it decelerated so slowly.
I'm gonna say it bleeds E while maneuvering because the Mossie is as heavy as a stuck pig.
I've only flown one sortie in it when it first came out, but doesn't it hold its speed well when level or slightly nose down (lik an attack) and only bleed E when you are pulling?
