ABZ Dash 8 incident

This reminds me of an incident at EDI in the early-mid
90s when an F27 ops by AirUK had an almost identical incident in which a ground vehicle was involved with the starboard prop upon starting via the use of a GPU. The incident however had a more serious outcome with the ground engineer being killed instantly. Although a slightly different lead up to the incident, both ground vehicles were (seem) to have been facing into the prop. Its my understanding that all ground vehicles should be parked accross the nose of the aircraft. When will we learn?

Anyone know which Dash 8 it was? There have been a few rather serious incidents involving Brymon/BACX Dash8s over the years... Cant afford to spare any more. The operation is a nightmare already - without the temporary loss of this aircraft.
