## Discrepancy

WHILE INSPECTING THE WINGS FOR THE UPCOMING WOOD SPAR AD, FOUND SWIRL AREA WHERE THE SPAR HAD BEEN CHEWED BY MICE.  THE AREA HAD BEEN VARNISHED OVER AT THE LAST RECEIVER AND SIGNED OFF.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDED THAT ACFT WITH WOOD SPARS BE CHECKED CLOSER FOR STORAGE PROBLEM AND BETTER INSPECTION AFTER STORAGE.  THIS DAMAGE NECESSITATED THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL 4 SPARS.
