A wind turbine blade has one or more trailing edge flaps. An actuator mechanism for the flaps comprises a shaft extending along the blade length driven by a motor arrangement toward the blade root. The flap is connected to the shaft through a linkage so that rotation of the shaft pivots the flap about a hinge line. The linkage may be non-rigid and coupled to the shaft through a roller, or rigid and coupled to the shaft through a crank arm mounted on the shaft. An offset actuation mechanism is provided for imparting movement to the linkage in addition to movement due to rotation of the shaft.
