A gas turbine engine assembly is connected to a pylon for mounting the gas turbine engine to an aircraft. The assembly has a frame supporting at least one accessory independently of the gas turbine engine. Frame is attached to the pylon at forward and rearward engine mounting locations. The frame includes at least one hollow tube and at least one hollow tube is fluid tight. The one hollow tube is evacuated or contains pressurised fluid and a pressure sensor is provided to detect a change in pressure in the at least one hollow tube to determine if there is a leak in the at least one hollow tube and hence if the frame is damaged. This ensures that the frame may be repaired or replaced before there is a loss of operation of one or more of the accessories which may result in a failure of the gas turbine engine.
