Beech 200(?) at Paraburdoo?
Passengers survive WA plane emergency
.
Passengers on a charter flight have escaped injury after their plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Paraburdoo Airport, in Western Australia's north.
It is understood the twin-engine plane had problems with its landing gear and was forced to circle for more than two hours to off-load fuel before attempting to land.
Cranes were required to remove the aircraft from the runway.
Another commercial flight that was supposed to land at Paraburdoo en route to Perth was diverted to Newman but was due to continue on its flight plan.

Twas a BE58, and only pilot + 1 pax. Left main gear stuck up. Held in the area during assessment, consultation etc. Delayed the landing whilst a pocket rocket went in and out of PBO, but a National Jet B717 that was going to get there quite a bit afterwards had to divert to NWN.
Landed on the right main & nose gear, minimal damage, no injuries. Nice work by the pilot

I think thats the Baron that lost part of a prop blade on the right engine.
Landed at Dalby OK.
Story mentioned in recent Aus Flight Safety mag.
Well handled by BVG.
