How about the Beech 99 that landed on 18 grass. Nothing overly special in that? Well it was at night, no lights on that runway and the 99 had no wheels down! 
I saw it and I also saw the the firemen run as is slithered toward them sliding on its pannier after touchdown! Fire engines attempted to illuminate the runway strip with their headlights!

The Beech 99 landed with no nosewheel, but the main ones down.
GTAXY, Air Continental's Navajo, landed wheels up on 18, but during daylight. The pilot was out before the a/c stopped! He then got into his Cessna 172 and flew back to Clacton!

Forgotten about the Beech 90, operated by National Airways.
Did a few trips with them, got slightly worried when the newspapers were piled in behind the front seats. Don't know how we were supposed to get out!
They also lost one on short final into Copenhagen. I believe it ran out of fuel and ditched, rumour had it the pilot was found sitting on the fin.
