An actuator includes a first transmission shaft mounted to a driver, a second transmission shaft mounted to the driver, and an output shaft. The output shaft includes a first engagement feature and the second transmission shaft comprises a second engagement feature for engaging with the first engagement feature. In a functioning condition, the first transmission shaft transmits drive from the driver to the output shaft, the second transmission shaft does not transmit drive from the driver to the output shaft, and the first engagement feature is rotationally separated from the second engagement feature by a predetermined angular gap. In a permitted failure condition, the first engagement feature engages the second engagement feature to transmit drive from the driver to the output shaft.
