I'd be interested to know why there appears to be no signs of bonding in the highlighted areas.

I'd guess that the honeycomb in the blade has been distorted by the airflow on the way down (there is ample evidence that it was bonded, from the bonding marks left on the inside of the skin), but the blade spar and the skin both seem to show signs that the bonding has been failing for a while.
