How could a Swordfish evade a much faster fighter?

How could a Swordfish fare against a much faster fighter such as a Zero?

By exploiting its very low speed: a pursuer trying to remain on its tail could fall below the faster fighter's stall speed.

A Swordfish's minimum flying speed was below the stall speed of many faster fighters. A pursuer trying to stay directly on its tail could therefore stall while attempting to maintain the attack. This is the proposed way a Swordfish might evade a Zero. A recalled incident over Norway involved a German fighter loss attributed to a Spitfire, although the only nearby British aircraft was a Swordfish. The recollection leaves the German fighter's type uncertain.
