This reminds me of an incident involving an ATP which occurred at BHD some years ago. From what I remember, the a/c was taxying off the ramp when the port prop struck a piece of ground equipment. The prop ended up with all the composite fibre being stripped off and bits of it were found on top of the terminal building and hundreds of yards away across the Sydenham by-pass - pretty scary for all concerned.

The a/c lay at BHD for weeks after as apparently the damage sustained required a replacement engine.
