The aircraft was parked and the crew were disembarking when the crew transport coach, which was
not being marshalled, reversed into the trailing edge of the left aileron. The aircraft was facing west
and the coach was reversing in that direction: The aircraft commander has stated that the low elevation of the bright sun, which had dazzled him whilst parking, would also have made it very difficult for the coach driver.
