The present invention provides a mounting arrangement for mounting a variable stator vane within a gas turbine engine. The mounting arrangement comprises an inner shroud (2) having a radially- and circumferentially-extending slot (3) and at least one insert (10) which, in use, is retained within said slot. The or each insert has at least one bore (15) for receiving a spindle portion of the variable stator vane. The at least one insert is formed of a plastics material and/or the slot and the at least one insert each have a respective axial cross section with a respective first width (axial dimension) which is greater than and radially inwards from a respective second width, the first width of the at least one insert being greater than the second width of the slot and there being a smooth transition between the respective first and second widths. |
