I'd say it's meant to match the vertical ribs of the hall's corrugated iron

OTT embossing provides added rigidity and maybe? here lateral "thrust"?
Nice overall rendition too :-)

That’s another nice shot, Jim.
Why would the metal of the fin be ribbed like that? Is it to stiffen thin

In examining the film from the Bessa, I found an example of our
international aircraft, a S.O.C.A.T.A. MS894A that is based here. I'm
sure that, among the sailplanes based here, there are quite a few more
from overseas.
