From the Wikipedia article
The Forlandet accident occurred during the night of 31 August 1967 on Prins Karls Forland on Svalbard. A Breguet 1150 Atlantic of the French Navy flew into Methuenfjellet and crashed. The entire crew of 11 were killed.
The aircraft was taking part in a French-British NATO exercise. The aircraft was one of three that were to detect and "destroy" two submarines, the French "Narval" and the British "Olympus", in the waters west of Svalbard. There was strong secrecy around the exercise and the crash, and the Norwegian authorities were only informed around 12 hours after the crash.
