What is the shape of little oval glass panel on the side of a Spitfire MkI covered for?

The panel is to equalize the pressure in the cockpit a rescue at high speed. As air rushes over the canopy (as in a high-speed dive after shot), it creates an area of ​​low pressure that pushes the canonpy and prevents it from slipping. The pilot uses his elbow to remove the oval panel, letting air rush on, and by lowering the pressure in the cockpit so he can open the canopy. Thr Me 109 was an opening up the aerodynamics of the canopy and more Poor (square sail) so that the pressure has not been so low. The Fw 190 had the same problem and used a 20mm white shell to blow off covered.
