Vildebeests - folding wings?

[Dave Homewood]

I read recently that the first 12 Vickers Vildebeests that NZ ordered, the prewar ones for the Auckland and Christchurch squadrons, were modified to specification to have folding wings.

I hadn't read this before, and am really curious as to whether anyone has more detail of this? Are there photos out there of Vildebeests with wings folded?

Apparently only our 12 had this modification.

Dave. have a look at the photo I posted of NZ 110 being assembled at Hobsonville and the photo of NZ 106 being wheeled out of the same hangar. No sign whatsoever of a fold joint and if they were folding why would they be attaching the wings like that?
They would have attached the center section first and then attached the outer wings seperately.
So I think the answer is no, there were not folding wings on Vildebeestes in our Air Force or anyone elses.

Yes you're right, I had already long since concluded the info was bogus, but thanks.
