Does anyone have any photos of MA970?

How do they manage to join the wing spars with the folding wing? I cant see anything obvious in the picture and I’ve always wondered was the wing weaker because of the joint?

A retractable pin, no weaker than any other carrier aircraft.

Bloody marvellous!!

Test flown by Leif Lundsten, summer of 1943 while at Worthy Down. I’m tracking down all his Spits.
