The aircraft was parked at Stand 9 and being loaded with freight prior to departure. The ground staff
were having some problems transferring a freight pallet from a high-loader into the front hold, and the pallet was placed on the ground beside the aircraft. The operator of the high-loader was then taken off this task to assist with other loading jobs; subsequently, after completing these tasks, he returned to the high-loader and finished transferring the last containers into the front hold. He then began to reverse the high-loader away from the aircraft and applied full right lock to avoid the freight pallet on the ground; he avoided the pallet but struck the right engine cowling of the aircraft.
