A mount assembly for attaching a heat exchanger to a casing of a gas turbine engine comprises a first attachment feature by which in use the mount assembly is attached to the casing and a second attachment feature spaced from the first attachment feature by which in use the mount assembly is attached to the heat exchanger. The first and second attachment features are joined by an elongate member. The assembly is characterised in that the elongate member is significantly larger in a length direction and a height direction than in a thickness direction, so that it is relatively stiff in the length and height directions L, H and relatively flexible in the thickness direction T; the flexibility allowing movement in use within the mount assembly to accommodate differential thermal expansion between the heat exchanger and the casing.
