A vane assembly 40 for use within a gas turbine engine has a main vane portion 42 with an internal cavity 44. A cavity insert 46 is located within the cavity 44, close to the wall 48 to define transpiration cooling paths. Cooling air leaves the insert 46 through apertures directed at the wall 48, to produce impingement cooling. The transpiration cooling paths are extended back to the trailing edge 66 by means of a fairing 54. The use of a fairing in addition to the insert allows more complicated cavity shapes to be filled.
