Real Swordfish didn't have physically separate flaps, instead ailerons were used as flaps. That's exactly what happens in our virtual Swordfish too, and you can see it nicely on the externals.
I'd one more time rather like to point out the absolute lack of any kind of leaks when plane takes damage - there is no oil or fuel leak even when absorbing massive amount of .303 bullets all over the plane. It's not hard to destroy the plane tho - it's structural integrity seems rather weak (wings or tail fall off easily, that's probably correct for such a biplane), and it also seems prone to explosions, more so than other planes.
