Narrative:The aircraft had been cleared to land on runway 24. When on short final the pilot saw a cloud of dust covering the forward part of a C-47 of the Royal Laotian Air Force which was standing at the holding point. Being unaware that the C-47 had moved forward he did not go around and the aircraft's left wing struck the C-47.
