Accident

Flight 142 was flying at 23,500 feet towards Naples when it collided with the F-86E. The F-86E was the leading aircraft of four on a tactical training exercise when it hit the Viscount. Both aircraft crashed, with the loss of all souls on the Viscount. The F-86 pilot, Captain Giovanni Savorelli, didn't use his ejector but parachuted down successfully and spent 6 months in hospital.[1]

Investigation

While no blame was assigned for the accident, it was noted that the Viscount had strayed out of its airway and into a military-prohibited area.[1]
