I had forgotten all about that. It wasn't that exciting as it happens. The summary says:
Summary:
G-JECK was to be flown from Aberdeen Airport to Weeze Airport, Germany. The aircraft had been in storage at Aberdeen since March 2020 and was parked on a self-manoeuvring stand which had a 1° slope. During the pre-departure checks, the chocks were removed from both the mainwheels and the nosewheels. The hydraulic pressure in the park brake system subsequently reduced to the point where the brakes could no longer prevent G JECK from moving, and the aircraft rolled across a taxiway before colliding with G-SAJS, which was parked on an adjacent stand. There were no injuries
The
full AAIB report includes a photo of the outcome on page 48, and others of the incident later.
