The fracture photos point to stress raisers from holes, brackets or other drillings. Corrosion played no part whatever in this one.

The Vickers Viscount (VH-RMQ) that lost a wing in Western Australia in 1968 had spar stress raisers from sleeves through the spar that had been bashed in carelessly during major service.
