A gas turbine structure comprising
- a first housing and a second housing, one of the first and second housings being located around the other of the first and second housings such that a core flow passage is obtained between the first and second housings,
- an elongate structural member extending in a structural member direction from the first housing to the second housing,
- a fairing circumferentially enclosing at least a portion of the structural member, the fairing extending in a fairing direction substantially parallel to the structural member direction, the fairing comprising a fairing attachment portion attached to the first housing such that a displacement of the fairing attachment portion in relation to the first housing is prevented at least in the fairing direction, the fairing further comprising a fairing end portion located at the other end of the fairing in the fairing extension direction as compared to the fairing attachment portion, wherein the fairing end portion is allowed to be displaced, in at least the fairing direction, in relation to the second housing.
