An insulation insert 504 comprises a hollow cylinder 514 formed of a closed cell foam, a first adhesive layer (210, figure 2) on a first face of the hollow cylinder 514, a flange 516 of the closed cell foam extending from the hollow cylinder 514, and a second adhesive layer (212, figure 2) on a second face of the flange 516. In use, the insert 504 in inserted in a hole 520 in an insulation blanket, adhesive 210 seals the insert 504 to a first outer layer 521 of the blanket 502 and adhesive 212 seals the flange 516 to a second outer layer 522 of the blanket 502. The hole in the blanket is therefore water-proof. The insert 506 engages a stringer clip 510 mounted to an aircraft structure.
