A deployable probe arrangement, e.g. for an inflight refuelling probe, comprises a proximal tube portion (18) which is carried by a compliant mounting comprising inner and outer spherical bearing arrangements (28, 30) respectively. The outer assembly (30) also allows limited sliding movement of the proximal tube portion (18). The compliant mounting is designed to prevent load pick-up by the proximal tube portion (18) when the supporting airframe flexes or moves during flight. |
