[Daniel Ravenswaay]

Still unconfirmed as of now, but an Italian Eurofighter has crashed in Australia. Operating from Darwin and taking part in the exercise Pitch Black, the pilot was said to have ejected, was subsequently rescued and is reported to be okay.

Developing story so still need confirmation.
