Would this plane have flown?

Nope.
1. Couldn't see any popped rivets in photo's.
2. Gap between aileron and wing was equal full length of aileron in
photo's.
3. I'd have got in cockpit and ran ailerons full right and left to
feel for any drag.
4. Then would have taken a hammer and stone or block of wood and taken
most of the 'curl' out of aileron.
5. Got in and fired up and landed next in the States to clear customs.
7. Then flew to home base to get repaired.
As I said prior. I would not have tried to do rolls and loops on way
home but birds have a lot of strength beyond plackard limits so lots
of safety built in even damaged birds.
And a good day to you and all.

I am seeing what some A&P sign off as airworthy enough for a ferry permit!!
Wow!
