The AAIB reported in their bulletin on Dec 8th 2016, that the engine cowl came into contact with the rotating propeller. The AAIB wrote: "The operator determined that a member of engineering staff had been distracted during a maintenance task performed the previous day, and had not secured the cowling before dispatch. The unsecured latches (shown in Figure 2) were then not spotted by engineering staff during before-flight checks, or by the flight crew during the pre-flight external check."
