B52 Bomber Spoilers

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes:

I watched the B52 Bomber take off from RAF Fairford yesterday. As it rotated and climbed into the sky, the spoliers on the wings appeared to deploy ?

With Principles of Flight as one of my ATPL subjects, I am interested to know why it would deploy during a climb when the reasons are to increase drag and/or rate of descent ?

Cheers...........TJ
