Flight from Dusseldorf to Birmingham 7th November 2015. The pilot reported the steering failure to ATC at the very end of this video sequence, and requested a tug vehicle to tow the plane to the terminal. A little later, control of steering was reported as regained, and the plane taxied off normally.

There was a moderate crosswind on this day which may have contributed to the incident.
