Mounting of gas turbine engines in aircraft requires use of thrust struts 41, 42 associated with mountings 31. It is important should there be failure that a load path is maintained. Furthermore, on a wing or in-situ inspection is highly desirable with respect to reducing maintenance costs. Of particular concern is failure as a result of cracking both sideways and vertical which may result in loss of all load paths through the mounting 31. By provision of independent cranks 37, 38 which are associated through crank pivots in apertures 35, 36 of the cranks 37 and then articulation about central pivots provided in apertures 44, 45 and a central element 43 along with pivot association of the struts 41, 42 through pivots created about apertures 39, 40 in the cranks 37, 38 load paths are maintained. By independent provision of the cranks 37, 38 sideways and vertical cracking cannot cause failure in both load paths to the arrangement 31 from the struts 41, 42. Furthermore, gaps 46 between the cranks 37, 38 and the mounting 32 and in particular snubber surface 47, 48 can be monitored to indicate component failure.
