Narrative:
When I entered the hangar for the first time; I noticed the 700 was entering the hangar without any ground guides. I rushed over to the wall side to clear the wing for parking. I had no time to get my whistle. I originally pointed the aircraft move towards the wall trying to get near the wall where we usually end up placing it. I was looking at the wing when I noticed the right horizontal tip was near the pole. I held up my open hand to stop the aircraft. It didn't stop and hit the pole.the 700 was being moved without guides. When I and person X showed up there was no guide for the tail. I found out later the driver was looking at person X. I could have yelled to stop. Always have all guides when moving the aircraft in the hangar.
