Dive Bombing in Mossie

[Schatzi]

Its actually just a technicality thats not really clear to me, maybe someone can explain...

I understand that when dive bombing the inertia of the bomb keeps its path to target. This is no problem if the bomb is mounted on the underside of the plane.

Now Mossie on the other hand has a bomb bay. How does the bomb get out while the plane is in fast dive? Is there an ejection mechanism of some kind that doesnt interfere with lineup?

I heard that historically Mossies had one 'pathfinder' with bombsite that defined the drop point for the whole formation while flying level. Did they divebomb at all?

mossies  didnt  techenicaly dive bomb not  like  stukas  and  sbds.
   most  attackes  were ever  level  or in shallow dives  or  lob bombing. this  is where  you release  bomb as  you pull up from a shalow  dive. even  stukas  had  a device  that swung  the bomb away from the underside  of the aircraft  to stop the bomb hitting it.
