    an end fitting including;

    a spring engagement formation arranged to be mechanically coupled to an end region of the spring; and

    a coupling formation for coupling the spring assembly to an aircraft anchor point, the coupling formation including a load bearing surface via which loads from the anchor point can be transmitted into the spring assembly; and

    at least one integral damping member provided within the load path between the load bearing surface of the coupling formation and the end region of the spring in order to decrease the amplitude of mechanical waves induced in the spring due to loads applied to the load bearing surface of the coupling formation.
