This aircraft was damaged when it collided with stationary Wellington Z5460. The pilot had aborted his take-off attempt due to the aircraft swinging, and taxied along another runway back to the start of the flarepath for another attempt. Whilst taxying at speed as he was in a hurry to take off for operations, the pilot failed to spot Wellington Z5460 which was not displaying lights, and his aircraft collided with it.
Pilot F/O LW Goodman and his crew were unhurt.
