Hi,
G-JMAB damaged it's wing tip after arriving from London Gatwick. The ATC failed to provide the Flight Deck with taxi aid (either in the form of a "follow me" car or taxi instructions) and so the 757-300 was left to taxi in on its own in poor weather. As you may know you cannot see the wingtips on a 753 from the flight deck? Anyway, it subsequently hit a post causing severe damage to the wing structure.

Thanks
