A shrouded nozzle arrangement for a gas turbine engine exhaust comprises a shrouded nozzle and duct means. The exhaust nozzle is translatable from a first position, wherein the exit plane of the nozzle lies upstream of the exit aperture of the shroud, to a second position, wherein the exit plane of the exhaust duct lies substantially downstream of the exit aperture of the shroud. In this second position, the use of reheat or thrust vectoring may be used without damage to the shroud.
