British (Airborne) Cargo Parachute For Dropcontainer Red - Nice Used Condition
British (Airborne) Cargo Parachute intended to be used on for instance the CLE Container or wicker pannier. Used for dropping supplies behind enemy lines during Airborne and resistance operations such as the Battle of Arnhem. Cargo parachutes were executed in a variation of colours, it is assumed that these colours would correspond with the content of the container. Red is assumed to be used mainly for ammunition. This particular cargo parachute is in clear nice used condition. The red silk is partly damaged and the ropes have been cut seperate from the parachute yet are present. The bag has various repairs. Certainly can be upgraded although overall a complete British (Airborne) Cargo Parachute that would make a great display.
