On 13th July 1976 at 2248 (I assume UTC, but may be local time) Alidair Cargo Viscount G-ARBY had started to taxy at Speke when the right wing L/E and props struck a power unit and tractor which were being moved from their position under the nose, causing substantial damage.

Details from CAP 404 (Accidents to Aircraft on the British Register 1976) and AAIB Bulletin 8/1976. I don't have a copy of the latter, but the AAIB are usually quite helpful with requests for information if you quote the date and location.
