A bearing block 22 for supporting and guiding movement of a slat support arm 15 comprises a plurality of bearings 23,24,25,26 mountable therein so as to lie in rolling contact with an associated bearing track 16,17 on a slat support arm extending through the bearing block. The bearing block forms part of a slat support assembly in which the slat support arm is movable to deploy a slat attached to one end of said slat support arm from a leading edge of an aircraft wing. Each bearing comprises a bearing element 30 rotatable about a shaft 32 fixed to the bearing block and is configured so that an axis of rotation of each bearing element angularly adjusts relative to an axis of the shaft on which it is rotatably mounted. The arrangement is intended to compensate for misalignment between said shaft and an associated bearing track.
