A landing gear assembly is disclosed having a trailing arm for carrying a wheel, a shock absorber pivotally coupled to the arm for damping movement of the arm, and an articulated lock mechanism. The mechanism includes an upper and lower lock links each with a distal end respectively pivotally coupled to the shock and arm. Proximal ends of the lock links are pivotally coupled about a common axis to enable a distance between the distal ends to vary. The mechanism is lockable to lock the assembly in an extended or retracted configuration. When the assembly is in the extended or retracted configuration, the mechanism is locked respectively in an extended or retracted locking configuration, such that the distance between the distal ends of the lock links is substantially the same in either extended or retracted locking configuration.
