An aircraft landing gear shock absorber strut 24 comprising: first and second bearings 54, 56 and a mechanical support linkage SL extending between the bearings. The mechanical support linkage comprises: a shock absorber 60 comprising outer and inner cylinders 26, 28, the inner cylinder moves along a longitudinal axis LA of the bore between a positions which compress and extend the shock absorber and is biased by a spring force to assume the extended condition; a movable member 62 configured to move in a first direction which reduces the distance between the bearings when the shock absorbing strut is supporting the weight of the aircraft; and in a second direction which increases the distance between the bearings when the shock absorbing strut is not supporting the weight of the aircraft; and a locking device 64 operable between a locking condition in which the locking device inhibits movement of the movable member; and a passive condition in which the locking device permits movement of the movable member.
