An aircraft wing (2, fig 1) has a main wing (3, fig 3) and a trailing edge flight control surface 4 movable between a retracted position, a first extended position in which the control surface is positioned rearwardly in the chord wise direction relative to its retracted position, and a second extended position in which the control surface is rotated relative to its retracted position. A closure panel 12, mounted to the main wing 3, extends from the main wing to the control surface 4 to provide an air flow surface between the main wing and control surface, both when the control surface is in its retracted position and its first extended position. The closure panel 12 is movable, relative to the control surface 4, to an open configuration in which it opens an airflow passage 40 provided between the control surface 4 and an opposed surface of the aircraft wing when the control surface 4 is in its second extended position.
