From the Wikipedia article
The Sola accident was an air accident that occurred at Sola Air Station on 10 July 1953. At around 13 o'clock an F-84G of the Royal Norwegian Air Force and a Dakota of the US Air Force flew into each other over Gimre outside Sola.
The American aircraft came from the Lakenheath base in Suffolk in England. It had a crew of four, with six passengers. South of the runway at Sola it flew into a fighter aircraft from 331 Squadron that was out on a training flight. In the collision one of the wings of the Dakota fell off. Wreckage was scattered over the Killingland and Gimre area.
