[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A structural joint for the transmission and control of high current flows in a joint between at least two carbon fibre or carbon fibre hybrid composite structures, said joint comprising:said at least two composite structures comprising a multiplicity of resin bonded carbon fibre plies,an adhesive applied to said joint between said composite structures and capable of conducting high currents through and away from the joint,said adhesive comprising a conductive carrier film comprising carbon fibres,wherein the electrical conductivity of the adhesive is comparable with that of the adjacent composite structures,and wherein the adhesive, once cured, acts to adhesively bond the two composite structures together to form a load-bearing structural joint.
