A variable length stay (22) for an aircraft landing gear (12) comprises first (24) and second (26) sets of struts lying on different longitudinal axes (24a, 26a) that enable the stay to extend and contract by movement of the struts (24, 26) parallel to their axes. The stay (22) may be locked in its extended and retracted configurations thus providing downlock (mechanism 40) and uplock (mechanism 60) functions for the landing gear. The struts (24, 26) of the stay may have an open and easy to inspect structure, have low friction kinematics, and do not need to telescope within each other or lie on a single common axis.
