Another accident today, an A/C hitting a gate in HEL
The gate is of the fixed type, my bet is the guidance display was set for an A321 while the a/c was a 320 which went unnoticed by the crew as they taxied past the correct stop position, even though if functioning the taxi guidance display prominently shows the a/c type it is set for. (The crew would only be at no fault here if they were marshaled in to the stand, but I find it a bit hard for this to be misjudged by a pair of Mk1 eyeballs)
