The invention relates to a locking mechanism for a folding wing tip (12, Fig 1). The locking mechanism has a locked configuration, in which a first part (20, Fig 2) is received in a second part 30 such that the first part cannot be withdrawn from the second part along the longitudinal axis of the locking mechanism, and an unlocked configuration, in which the first part is received in the second part such that the first part can be withdrawn from the second part along the longitudinal axis of the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is moved between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration by rotation of at least one of the first part or second part around the longitudinal axis of the locking mechanism.
