Details

Description:

Load ring for the wartime folding wicker basket. The load ring has 8 wires each with an 'eye' to connect to the toggles on the basket sides. The 4 wires with bolts on the end connect the load ring to the corners of the basket. In the second image are the port and starboard ropes to connect the load ring to the gas balloon. There should be 6 of each but 1 of each is missing. The toggles are still attached to the ropes but the 'eyes' have been removed.
