Aircraft landing gear comprising a locking assembly including a pair of spaced-apart bearing pads and a lock member. The lock member is moveable between a locked position in which it engages the bearing pads to prevent pivotal movement of a steerable axle, and an unlocked position in which the member is disengaged from the bearing pads such that movement of the axle can occur. The lock member has a guide surface on either side for guiding the member and bearing pads into alignment during movement of the member from the unlocked to the locked position. The guide surface comprises a first inclined portion for moving the member towards alignment with the bearing pads and a second inclined portion, spaced apart from the first portion, for moving the member into alignment with the bearing pads such that the member and bearing pads are aligned in a movement comprising two stages.
