What to do when a wing folds in flight!

Here's a link to how the legendary Neil Williams managed to keep flying (and living!) after a catastrophic wing spar failure in his Zlin in 1970. Sadly Neil died some years later flying a Spanish He-111 (CASA 2.111) into a mountain :cry:

His two books "Airbourne" and "Aerobatics" I highly recommend.
