Norway

Crashed in unknown circumstances 16 km north of Oslo while cruising in foggy conditions. All four crew members were killed.

The crew left Skattøra (Tromsø ) in the afternoon on an ambulance flight to Kårvikhamn. En route, he encountered poor weather conditions and the single engine airplane went out of control and crashed into the sea about 1,5 km north of Ansnes. Both crew members were killed.
Crew:
Lt Bjørnar Bergsdal, pilot,
Sgt Otto Grindvold, radio operator.

The aircraft departed Vaernes Airport, Trondheim, at 0830LT on a scheduled flight to Oslo, carrrying a crew of two and ten passengers. The aircraft entered clouds at 2,500 feet right after take-off and did not have visual contact with the ground thereafter. The copilot later stated that between Vaernes and Tolga when the aircraft reached cruising altitude, normal cruise power was set up but the resultant indicated airspeed was 20 knots below normal. The aircraft reported that at 0912 hours it had passed Tolga radio beacon at 8 000 feet (2,438 m), and that it was experiencing light icing. This was the last radio contact with the aircraft. From this point on it appears that the icing increased rapidly and the aircraft started to lose altitude, even though the de-icing system for wing and tail planes was in use. At 0925 hours it was decided to return to Vaernes Airport.The aircraft, when approximately abeam Tolga and to the east, altered its course 25 to 30 degrees northeast. This maneuver, carried out by the captain, was interpreted by the co-pilot to mean that he had decided to divert to Rhos. The controls were taken over by the copilot while the captain continued to try to establish radio contact with the ground on frequency 126,7 mc/s. No signals were picked up. At approximately 0950 hours the aircraft hit Hummelfjell at a height of approximately 1,350 metres. At the time of the crash the aircraft was in heavy fog, with cockpit window covered with ice to an extent which drastically reduced the crew's visibility. The force of the impact was somewhat reduced in that the aircraft touched down in a bowl in the terrain and made two bounces on the snow, which covered the mountain to a depth of 40 cm, before settling down. The captain and one passenger died instantly.

Crashed in unknown circumstances in the harbor of Bodø. There were no casualties.

Crashed in unknown circumstances into the sea off Hansnes. There were no casualties but the aircraft sank and was lost.

The airplane was carrying one passenger and eight crew members of the 333rd Squadron on a mail dropping mission out from Tromsø. After an uneventful dropping mission at Bjørnøya Island, Isfjord Radio, Longyearbyen, Ny-Ålesund and Hopen, in the Svalbard region, the crew was returning to Tromsø when he decided to make a last low pass over the Bjørnøya station. While flying at a height of 40 meters in snow falls, the pilot-in-command completed a turn to the right when the right wing struck the ground. Out of control, the airplane crashed and disintegrated in one meter of snow. A radio operator was rescued while eight other occupants were killed.

Caught fire shortly after takeoff and crashed in flames. Occupant fate remains unknown. The aircraft was destroyed.

During the takeoff roll, an undercarriage collapsed. The twin engine aircraft sank on its belly and came to rest. There were no casualties.

On final approach to Stavanger-Sola Airport, the Dakota was hit by a Royal Norwegian Air Force Republic F-84 Thunderjet registered FN-C. Both aircraft crashed 1,500 meters short of runway threshold and were destroyed. All 11 occupants on both aircraft were killed.

The single engine aircraft was performing a cargo flight from Vadsø to Alta, with two passengers (among them a Norwegian Army Lieutenant) and two pilots. While trying to land near Lake Gavnevann, the aircraft hit the ground, overturned and came to rest upside down. All four occupants were rescued few hours later and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
