Incident
During local training sorties at Værløse Air Base, a twin-engine Airspeed Oxford and a Danish Air Force North American Harvard collided in mid-air shortly after the Oxford's takeoff. The Oxford, piloted solely by 2nd Lt Jørgen Gerhard Christensen, was climbing to 300 meters when it struck the Harvard, registration 32-353. The Harvard, with pilot Lt Jørgen Hindse-Nielsen and passenger Harry Smedegaard Marquart on board, was attempting to land at the time of the collision. Both aircraft subsequently entered uncontrolled descents, crashed into the ground, and were destroyed. All three occupants were killed.
