DR1 U/C wing

Okay guys, I am interested to know how this wing/faring was attached. I have seen drawings of the formers attached to the axle box but how was the plywood skin attached to the formers? Here is a drawing from Paul Leaman's DR1 book. It shows fittings holding the skin together. Did this somehow make the wing removable or is it just a more secure way of making the the plywood skin stay permenatly attached? If these strips held the pieces together at the bottom then how was the T/E held together, clips, hinges,screws? This has probably been explained before but since it is being revisited I thought I would ask. Cheers!
