He means the SFC (Signal Flare Chute). In the Spitfire the flare dispenser chute/chutes were situated just above the oxygen tanks. They are not generally fitted to modern warbirds (possibly for legal reasons ?) although the dispenser doors remain.

Here is a thread:

As far as I know none of the Il2_1946 aircraft can drop flares even though many in real life (including the Spitfire) could do so.

Its a reasonable suggestion as an addon for TD, though its unclear how many people would ever actually use it.
