I remember learning the tonka airbrakes are scheduled... the angle they deploy at depends on the airspeed. You don't need as much of a surface area when the airflow is 700mph, like sticking your hand out the car window at 70mph. As the airbrakes are fully out in the photo, the Tornado air display variant in the photo must have slowed right down..
