EXT111 came from Frankfurt, although occasionaly did a rotation to Brussels in between. The a/c used was a Beech 99, DIEXA and DIEXB, although one of them crashed one night on the way back to Frankfurt. One night one of the Beech's couldn't get its nosewheel down, so on the suggestion of JB (who was in the tower that night, I was on radar) was persuaded to land on 18 Grass in the dark, the end of the runway being marked by fire vehicles!
