A gas turbine engine distributor device (150; 350) for distributing cooling air, the device (150; 350) comprising: a base (160; 360) mounted adjacent an inlet (130; 330) for air to be distributed; and a deflector (180; 380) supported by the base (160; 360) and in fluid communication with the air inlet (130; 330), the deflector (180; 380) being configured to direct air from the air inlet (130; 330) in a plurality of directions within the gas turbine engine; wherein the deflector (180; 380) comprises one or more curvilinear deflecting surfaces (190; 390A, 390B) to direct the said air differentially in a plurality of desired directions within the gas turbine engine; characterised in that: the deflector is supported by the base via a spine (182, 382) which is located within the air inlet and the base (160; 260) comprises a tubular support which is mounted within a mouth of the or the respective air inlet, and the spine is supported within the tubular support by virtue of being mounted thereon via one or more brackets, webs, ribs, vanes, struts, arms or other support elements the spine is an central or axial spine constituting an anchoring portion onto which the plurality of support elements are mounted or attached, and from which the deflecting surface(s) of the deflector extend(s) with a gap between the said deflecting surface(s) and the tubular support for allowing passage therethrough of air undergoing distribution or directing having impinged on the or the deflecting surface(s). a base (160; 360) mounted adjacent an inlet (130; 330) for air to be distributed; and a deflector (180; 380) supported by the base (160; 360) and in fluid communication with the air inlet (130; 330), the deflector (180; 380) being configured to direct air from the air inlet (130; 330) in a plurality of directions within the gas turbine engine; wherein the deflector (180; 380) comprises one or more curvilinear deflecting surfaces (190; 390A, 390B) to direct the said air differentially in a plurality of desired directions within the gas turbine engine; characterised in that: the deflector is supported by the base via a spine (182, 382) which is located within the air inlet and the base (160; 260) comprises a tubular support which is mounted within a mouth of the or the respective air inlet, and the spine is supported within the tubular support by virtue of being mounted thereon via one or more brackets, webs, ribs, vanes, struts, arms or other support elements the spine is an central or axial spine constituting an anchoring portion onto which the plurality of support elements are mounted or attached, and from which the deflecting surface(s) of the deflector extend(s) with a gap between the said deflecting surface(s) and the tubular support for allowing passage therethrough of air undergoing distribution or directing having impinged on the or the deflecting surface(s). the deflector is supported by the base via a spine (182, 382) which is located within the air inlet and the base (160; 260) comprises a tubular support which is mounted within a mouth of the or the respective air inlet, and the spine is supported within the tubular support by virtue of being mounted thereon via one or more brackets, webs, ribs, vanes, struts, arms or other support elements the spine is an central or axial spine constituting an anchoring portion onto which the plurality of support elements are mounted or attached, and from which the deflecting surface(s) of the deflector extend(s) with a gap between the said deflecting surface(s) and the tubular support for allowing passage therethrough of air undergoing distribution or directing having impinged on the or the deflecting surface(s).
