factory photos..wing construction

Hi all,
Can anyone out there I.D. the wings under construction in the attached photos?
The photos are of late 40s early 50s vintage, stamped on reverse side ‘Aircraft Production’, this the house journal of the British aircraft industry back in the good old days.
Note the rather strange ‘V’ shape bit of structure within the ribs of the first photo, looks sort of like a fold-down skid?
With these were a couple of others showing Hurricane wings under construction, so maybe Hawker related??

Any info greatly appreciated, Cheers Chumpy.

Photo 1 is a Barracuda. I think 2 are Hawker Fury (F2/43 not Sea).
