Something you don't see every day... Hellenic Air Force Mirage 2000BG crashed in Aegean Sea in 2011. Being in a relatively shallow water it is recovered, but I don't know what happened with it later...

Pretty much guaranteed that's Australian - eucalyptus (gum) trees in the back ground, very RAAF looking ground crew & those buildings scream Australian Defence Force issue.
