The aircraft was parked on Stand 1 at Edinburgh Airport; it was raining heavily. In order to position
his 'Cargo King' baggage loading vehicle at the forward hold, the driver had to apply full left
steering lock. When loading was complete and he started to reverse away from the hold the left lock
was still applied and the front right side of the vehicle struck the front edge of the front hold door
frame.
The passengers, cargo and baggage were transferred to later flights and the aircraft was ferried to
East Midlands Airport for repair.
