It's a 'spare' in case the mothership has problems! :icon_lol:

It's designed to release as a last ditch effort to prevent a mid-air collision with another aircraft. The Spitfire just chases down the offending aircraft and shoots it down! :icon_lol:

It's like the plastic owl on the roof top to discourage roosting pigeons. This one's set up to discourage roving Messerschmitts from sneaking up from beneath for a pot shot. Ball turrets are ugly on modern jets, and the paintable Spit stencil can't be beat for cost.
