History of the Flight
The pilots of G-BZHR and G-NIGC were participating in a fly-in event at North Coates Airfield in Lincolnshire. Weather conditions were CAVOK, and Runway 05 was in use. After receiving clearance to taxi to the holding point of Runway 05, the pilot of G-BZHR departed the main parking area. He followed the wheel tracks in the grass created by other aircraft that day, focusing on the uneven ground due to concerns about potential damage to the Jabiru's nose landing gear from the terrain.
A line of parked aircraft faced away from him on his right side. As he passed the last aircraft in the line, the right wing tip of his aircraft struck the vertical fin of that aircraft, which was G-NIGC. Although there was sufficient space to his left to maneuver, the pilot was concentrating on the tracks and did not monitor his wing tip clearance.
Damage and Injuries
Both pilots shut down their aircraft after the impact and inspected the damage. G-NIGC sustained minor damage to its tail fin. G-BZHR reported no damage. There were no injuries to any of the four occupants (one crew and one passenger on each aircraft).
Conclusion
The pilot of G-BZHR concluded that his attention was fully occupied with looking forward and following the wheel tracks, causing him to not appreciate how close he was to the other aircraft.
