Narrative:
As we were being marshalled into a parking spot in NAS, the marshaller brought us too close to the building. The right wingtip contacted the terminal, causing damage to the navigation light lens cover and a dent in the aileron horn. The marshaller had positioned himself to the right front of the aircraft so he was in a position to clear the wing as we turned left into the spot.
