Could it be the antenna from a sonobuoy reciever? I found this text:

"A sonobuoy receiver rod antenna projected downward from the bottom of the starboard stub plane. The sonobuoy receiver was located in the shelving aft of the Observer's seat, which swivelled to permit operation of the AN/APS-4 equipment (still positioned forward of the seat) or the sonobuoy receiver."

If that photo is of an F.1, then it isn't a sonobuoy aerial, as the F.1 didn't use sonobuoys. I have searched through the AP but find no mention of it, but I think it may be the early position for the IFF aerial.
