Narrative:
1978 Beech 95-B55 on a private flight to LEMH reported main undercarriage problems. After various failed tentatives to deploy left main undercarriage including sharp turns and manual cranking, the pilot completed a text book emergency landing on 19R LEMH with just one main wheel and front undercarriage. After a long slow aproach and near perfect touch down the light aircraft skidded to a halt just off the main runway. Both occupants walk out by their own means with help from the emergency services.
