The Zlin Trenner (226/526 etc) aircraft (and the later 142/242 series) have this system on the tubular mainspars IIRC. From the Pilot flying review:

There is also a canny main spar pressure gauge fitted in the front cockpit and this illuminates should the sealed, gas tight, metal spar crack from being over stressed.
