Cooling arrangements have been provided for blades and in particular turbine blades utilising gas turbine engines. Generally for internal strength a leading passage has been separate by a solid wall from a feed passage as impingement apertures may diminish structural strength as centres for stress concentration. However, impingement apertures allow impingement jets which have improved cooling efficiency. By providing a leading passage which is divided at least into a lower section and an upper section the lower section can have a wall which is solid for structural integrity whilst an upper section has impingement apertures for greater cooling efficiency.
