About 1 hour from Kingston the crew revived a warning that the YELLOW Hydraulic System had failed due to lack of fluid. The aircraft continued on safely to London. The aircraft landed safely and began taxiing toward a stand. The aircraft began the process of parking at the stand when the crew applied the parking brake. As this was done the crew realized that the left was still moving. The captain applied minimal braking pressure to no avail. The aircraft’s No.1 Cowling struck the air bridge. Nobody was injured.
Probable Cause:
The loss of hydraulic fluid lead to the loss of braking
