In leaving the parking position, the aircraft was making a right turn. The pilot-in-command was guided by signals from a station engineer during the first part of the turn. After the wingtip had cleared the first obstructions (rocks) on the left side the pilot-in-command directed his attention to the right side in order to catch the taxi guide lines. The aircraft then collided with a lightpole on the left side.
